Isobar maps show pressure systems and wind differences across areas. Isobars are lines drawn on a map connecting points of equal pressure. Isobar lines do not cross or touch and they measure pressure in millibars. The above map shows the pressure in millibars and the direction of the windflow in reference to the isobars.
