Isobars lines of constant pressure
A line drawn on a weather map connecting points of equal pressure is called an "isobar". Isobars are generated from mean sea-level pressure reports and are given in millibars.
Isobar has also occasionally been used as a synonym for a heat pipe.

Isobars are drawn every 4 millibars on charts originating in the UK, the USA and Canada but note that a 5-millibar spacing is more common on charts originating in countries in continental Europe.
Draw in the isobars. 2. Draw in the direction of the wind in each system. 3. What is the value of the high pressure system? Ans. _________________ 4. What is the value of the low pressure system? Ans. __________________ 5.
Geostrophic WindA wind that is affected by coriolis force, blows parallel to isobars and whose strength is related to the pressure gradient (i.e., spacing of the isobars).
Closed LowA low pressure area with a distinct center of cyclonic circulation which can be completely encircled by one or more isobars or height contour lines.
It is directed along contour lines or isobars. Geostrophic wind level The lowest level at which the wind becomes geostrophic in the theory of the Ekman spiral. Also called gradient wind level.
GEOSTROPHIC WIND A steady horizontal motion of air along straight, parallel isobars or contours in an unchanging pressure or contour field.
The closest that hurricanes come to my personal experience is that I have visited Galveston, where there was a disastrous hurricane on 8 September 1900, whose isobars I saw in a old textbook on meteorolgy long ago.
Sometimes, particularly in discussions of atmospheric waves embedded in the westerlies, a ridge line is considered to be a line drawn through all points at which the anticyclonically curved isobars or contour lines are tangent to a latitude circle.
It is represented on a synoptic chart by a system of isobars at a specified altitude level (or a system of contours at a specified pressure level) which enclose relatively low values of pressure (or altitude).
A steady horizontal motion of air along straight, parallel isobars or contours in an unchanging pressure or contour field.
CLOSED LOW A region of low pressure distinguished by a center of counterclockwise circulation (in the Northern Hemisphere), and is surrounded by one or more isobars or height contours.
A theoretical horizontal wind blowing in a straight path, parallel to the isobars or contours, at a constant speed. The geostrophic wind results when the Coriolis force exactly balances the horizontal pressure gradient force.

steric height The mean dynamic depth (or height) of the ocean for the month minus the annual mean dynamic depth for the same isobaric reference level. stoma, plant stomata A minute pore in the epidermis of plant leaves or stems.
BaroclinityA measure of the state of stratification in a fluid in which surfaces of constant pressure (isobaric) intersect surfaces of constant density (isosteric).
