   • 1967, Richard J. Kopec, “Areal patterns of seasonal temperature anomalies in the vicinity of the Great Lakes”, in Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society‎^[2], volume 48, number 12:

     The usefulness of isanomal maps to climatological study and students of climate is varied and profound. By reducing the control of latitude on temperature to zero, the spatial patterns of thermal influence exhibited by other climatic controls such as altitude, continentality, etc., are more easily identified and analyzed.
