| When isobars on a weather chart are close together, it will be a blustery day. |
|
| Near the ground the winds are deflected across the contours, or isobars, towards the low pressure, due to friction. |
|
| Secret Meteorological Office charts show the alarming swirl of isobars converging in black lines over the Channel. |
|
| The balance of forces is lost and the flow crosses the isobars towards the low pressure. |
|
| The lines on a weather chart are known as isobars and represent areas of equal pressure. |
|
| The lower the air pressure and the closer the isobars are on a weather map, the faster the winds will rotate and the bigger the swell will get, resulting in larger waves. |
|
| These lines are called isobars because every point on a given line has the same air pressure value. |
|
| When positioning isobars, assume a steady pressure change with distance between neighbouring stations. |
|
| Draw all other isobars in the sequence that spans the range of pressure values appearing on the map. |
|
| By convention, isobars on surface weather maps are usually drawn using standard intervals. |
|
| Thus, the most favourable zones are the ones with trade winds, to benefit from a steady sea and a brief compression of the isobars. |
|
| In such cases, the isobars shape closely follows the topography of the plateau. |
|
| Apparently the weather forecast will no longer show wind unless it's significant, and they've ditched isobars and fronts as they disenfranchise the thickos. |
|
| It has been noted by forecasters that if the isobars on a surface weather map are oriented more northwest-southeast than north-south, then convergence will cause the winds to be strongest over the Sandspit. |
|
| The isentropic surface varies in height from place to place over the Earth, the variation being indicated on the isentropic chart by isobars, lines showing the pressure at which the isentropic surface is found. |
|
| Hmm, yes Wendy, isobars are sooooo much more interesting than crossbars, aren't they? |
|
| Again, By convention, isobars on surface weather remembering that the use of the decimal maps are usually drawn using standard point in map plotting is avoided whenever intervals. |
|
| In October, BBC Breakfast presenter Bill Turnbull made a joke about her isobars. |
|
| It is six decades since a forecaster called George Cowling drew isobars and rainfall on a large map in a studio. |
|
| Adjacent isobars tend to follow a similar pattern. The isobar that you are drawing will generally parallel the curves of its neighbours because horizontal changes in air pressure from place to place are usually gradual. |
|
|
|
| As they make their way further south, the isobars start to curve around and a 20-knot NE'ly is forecast for lunchtime, before veering E'ly at the latitude of Gibraltar, while remaining at around twenty knots. |
|
| The Neumayer weather forecaster had been sending us meteorological forecast maps which showed a perfectly circular cyclone with tightly drawn isobars indicating high wind speeds about to make landfall in our sector. |
|
| The analysis of the distribution of pressure on a surface weather map consists of drawing a series of lines called isobars which connect points of equal pressure. |
|
| More accurately, isobars are lines drawn on a map joining places of equal average atmospheric pressure reduced to sea level for a specified period of time. |
|
| These stripes, running parallel to the shard's longest side, suggest ripples emanating from a pebble dropped into a pond or isobars on a weather map. |
|
| There has been no change to the policy of showing wind speed and direction when the wind is the main story and isobars would be displayed where they were helpful to viewers. |
|
| The distribution of isobars is closely related to the magnitude and direction of the wind field, and can be used to predict future weather patterns. |
|
| Because Isobars provide a high-speed, virtually isothermal path for heat energy to travel, when they are utilized in core pins they can improve part quality and productivity. |
