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.
isobars and Isotherms extended definition. Isobars and isotherms are lines on weather maps which represent patterns of pressure and temperature, respectively. They show how temperature and pressure are changing over space and so help describe the large-scale weather patterns across a region in the map.
