An Isobar map is a weather map that plots the contour lines that represent air pressure of a certain location. By definition, isobars are lines of equal atmospheric pressure. The above map depicts the atmospheric pressure of Germany on the 28th of March, 2012. Due to the properties of wind when traveling (from high to low) meteorologists are able to use maps such as the one above us in order to predict weather patterns.
