Other synoptic charts include [[isentropic charts]] and [[constant-  height charts]], both used for [[upper-air analysis]]. There are a number of auxiliary and special-  purpose synoptic charts, including [[thickness charts]], [[tropopause charts]], [[stability charts]], [[change  charts]], [[continuity charts]], etc., that have useful applications for preparing forecasts of weather  events at various locations. <br/>''See also'' [[mean chart]], [[prognostic chart]], [[cross section]], [[profile]].</div><br/> </div>
