Isothermality = Mean diurnal range/Temperature annual range × 100. Isothermality quantifies how large is the day-to-night temperature oscillation in comparison to the summer-to-winter oscillation, with 100 representing a site where the diurnal temperature range is equal to the annual temperature range.
