Now Climate Wikience displays isolines for satellite data. Until now, Climate Wikience was able to display isolines only for data without missing values like climate reanalysis. However, satellite measurements often have areas without data due to clouds or other reasons. Improved algorithm of Climate Wikience now draws isolines for data with missing values.
Below are examples of visualizing isolines for satellite data.

You can label any isoline at its arbitrary point. Simply enable “Click for value” option at the “Properties tab”. A label with isoline value will appear at the point where you clicked on the isoline. Click on the isoline again to hide the label.
