noun a line on a weather map connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure
In meteorology, an isobar is a line on a weather map connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure.
In engineering, isobars are used to show points of equal energy on a thermodynamic diagram.
In chemistry, isobars refer to atoms or ions that have the same mass number but different atomic numbers.
In geography, isobars are used to represent areas of equal elevation on a topographic map.
In physics, isobars are lines on a graph representing constant pressure.
Isobars are commonly used in meteorology to represent lines of equal atmospheric pressure on weather maps. Meteorologists use isobars to analyze and predict weather patterns.
In oceanography, isobars are used to represent lines of equal barometric pressure in the ocean. Oceanographers use isobars to study ocean currents and circulation patterns.
Geologists may use isobars to represent lines of equal pressure in rock formations. Isobars can help geologists understand the stress distribution within the Earth's crust.
