On the weather forecasts, you often show plots of isobars moving and then seem to indicate that the winds will be running parallel to the isobars. We all know that winds should be perpendicular to ...

Dear Tom, On a weather map, do isobars indicate wind direction or air pressure? Kendra Eisenga, Chicago Dear Kendra, A bar is a metric unit of pressure and isobars are lines on a weather map that c… ...

Dear Tom,What do isobars represent on weather maps?—Mal Wallis, LyonsDear Mal,A bar is a metric unit of pressure and isobars are lines on a weather map that connect points of equal air pressure.

Weather map explainer: ... curving patterns of sea level isobars — lines of equal atmospheric pressure — which show the central elements of our weather systems: ... SO WHAT ARE ISOBARS THEN?

Isobar: On a weather map, a line drawn through all points of equal air pressure. Isobars form closed loops, and cannot branch or end. Isobaric patterns identify areas of relative high and low air p… ...

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 ...

THEY pop up on our TV screens every single day but more often than not we have no idea what we’re actually looking at.

On a weather map an East Coast Low is denoted much the same way as a low pressure system. Its hit 23.5°C at Mallacoota, the highest July temp on record! This is due to a Foehn Wind https://t.co ...
