OBS

[An isomer] is similar to an isohyet, a line that connects points of the same total precipitation for a given time period or for a particular storm. Isomers and isohyets generally will not coincide. In regions with more than one rainy season isomeric analysis is useful in establishing the relative importance of each rainfall regime.
