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 fronts Isobars are lines on a weather map joining together places of equal atmospheric pressure [atmospheric pressure: the weight of air resting on the Earth's surface. On the map the isobar marked 1004 represents an area of high pressure, while the isobar marked 976 represents an area of low pressure. Isobars on a weather map The numbers measure the atmospheric pressure in millibars.
