Who Do Isobars Connect?

Isobars are lines that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure on weather maps. Isobars are similar to height lines on a geographical map, and they are drawn so that they can never cross each other.

Where do isobars join?

Isobars and isotherm are both lines joining places on a weather map. Isobars join places with equal air pressure, and isotherms join places with equal temperature. Scientists who study causes of weather and try to predict it.

What is an isobar used for?

Isobars are used to represent the pressure at sea level so differences caused by altitude are ignored. When the isobars form a closed loop, a cell is produced. The air flows anticlockwise in high pressure cells (H) and the weather is generally stable.
