Isobars: On a weather map, lines drawn connecting places of equal atmospheric pressure; isobars close together indicate a steeper gradient of pressure and stronger winds.
isobars - Lines drawn on a weather map indicating regions of equal pressure. When the lines are close together, this indicates a rapid change in air pressure, accompanied by strong winds.

isogonic lines - Found on a chart, they are lines of equal magnetic variation.
The difference in pressure between two points divided by the distance between them. On a weather map, the closeness of the isobars is a measure of the pressure gradient.
