The word comes from the Greek words "isos" meaning "equal" and "cheimon" meaning "winter."

ISOCHEIM Meaning and Definition

1. Isocheim is a geographical term that refers to a line on a map or a chart that connects places with the same average annual temperature. Derived from the Greek words "Iso," meaning equal, and "Cheim," meaning climate or temperature, an isochiem represents regions that experience similar climatic conditions in terms of temperature distribution over the course of a year. The concept of isochiem is often used in the study of climatology and is an essential tool in understanding and analyzing climate patterns.

   As an imaginary line connecting points with the same average annual temperature, an isochiem provides a visual representation of the distribution of temperature across a specific area or region. It helps researchers identify and compare areas that share similar temperature characteristics, which can be vital for various purposes such as agriculture, urban planning, or environmental assessment.

   The placement of an isochiem on a map is determined by data collected from weather stations or climate models, where the average annual temperature for each location is calculated. These data points are then plotted, and a line is drawn to connect areas with the same average temperature. The resulting map with isochiems provides a clear depiction of temperature zones, allowing for easier analysis and understanding of climate patterns and regional temperature differences.
