Thrower (1972)
[edit][1] Appendix B.
Thrower's list uses German sources, so search for e.g. Isodynamen for isodynam.
isobath | depth below a datum (e.g. mean sea level) | |
isogonic line | magnetic declination | |
isocline | magnetic dip (inclination) or angle or slope | |
isohypse (contour) | elevation above a datum (e.g., mean sea level) | |
isodynamic line | value of intensity or a component or the intensity of the magnetic field | |
isotherm | temperature (usually average) | |
isobar | atmospheric pressure (usually average) | |
isohyet | precipitation | |

Other
[edit]isopract | = isoline | |
isofag | damage to crops inflicted by insects | can only find uses by Hartzell and Wolfenbarger, viz. 2 authors (not 3 independent cites). Etymon is Ancient Greek φαγεῖν (phageîn, “to eat”) (i.e. phage) |
isobat | ? | some uses are typos/scannos for isobar; others are an error for isobath |
isoscore | score? | may be attestable |
