Death of Osama bin Laden. Osama bin Laden, the founder and head of the Islamist group Al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, shortly after 1:00 am PKT (20:00 UTC, May 1) by United States Navy SEALs of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (also known as DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six).
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.
High and low pressure indicated by lines of equal pressure called isobars. Although we cannot actually see the air moving we can measure its motion by the force that it applies on objects. We use a wind vane to indicate the wind's direction and an anemometer to measure the wind's speed.
