Isobars


www.netweather.tv/forum/index.php?showtopic=10660

Isobars represent areas of equal atmospheric pressure. The isobars connect equal points of pressure and the distance between isobars is the change or difference in atmospheric pressure. Lines that are close together mean stormy weather. Of the hundreds of isobar images that I could have chose I selected this one for its vibrant colors;" it dates back to the 16th October 1987. The cartoon at the top was entitled "making isobars with elastic bands."
