Wind Direction and Isobars surface maps. Winds flow roughly parallel to the isobars, as depicted in the schematic below. This relationship is observed on real surface maps. In the example below, surface observations and isobars (yellow contours) have been plotted. Reports of wind direction from Nebraska into Minnesota, show that the observed wind direction is nearly parallel to the isobars.
Geostrophic Wind -- The wind that flows parallel to height contours or isobars resulting from an exact balance between the pressure gradient acceleration and the Coriolis acceleration. Let's see to what extent we can use the geostrophic wind idea to explain the real wind we see at the various scales we've already defined. B.
