Isobars















An isobar is a contour line that is used to depict a constant pressure in meteorology.  This image is showing the barometric pressure in Europe as well as over the Mediterranean sea.  Once you identify a pressure with a certain spot on a line, you can then follow that line and along the entire line it will be the same pressure.
