“Its dominant features are the smooth, curving patterns of sea level isobars — lines of equal atmospheric pressure — which show the central elements of our weather systems: highs, lows ...

For anyone with an interest in winds, isobars on weather maps are important. Variations in air pressure drive the winds on earth, and isobars–lines of equal pressure–offer an easy way for ...

Paris Alston: This is GBH’s Morning Edition. When trying to make sense of the weather and meteorological patterns, there are a lot of helpful tools out there. One of them is isobars, the curved lines ...

Isobars are drawn by connecting points having equal sea-level air pressure, using a specified contour interval. Because air pressure decreases at a rate of about 1 inch per thousand feet of ...

Isobars are lines/areas of equal pressure represented on a weather map. When isobars become very tightly grouped together it indicates a "tight pressure gradient" (steep slope). The tightly packed ...

Isobars are drawn by connecting points having equal sea-level air pressure, using a specified contour interval, allowing meteorologists not only to pinpoint the location of high and low pressure ...

We’ve had a couple of very windy days in a row here in central Iowa. The first image below shows peak wind gusts from Thursday, and the second peak gusts from today ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Isobars are lines on a weather map joining together places of equal atmospheric pressure. On the map the isobar ...

Not only do isobars tell us whether there is high or low pressure but they also tell us about wind: When the isobars are closer together the wind is stronger. When the isobars are further apart ...
