How do you determine where the strongest winds are on a weather map?

The barbs are arrows pointing in the direction wind blows from. They have little points (barbs) off the side of them. A full barb represents 10 knots, a half barb represents 5 knots, and a flag represents 50 knots. You add the numbers represented by the number of full and half barbs. Thus 2 full barbs and 1 half barb represents a 25 knot wind. To convert knots to MPH multiply the knots by a factor of 1.15.

What do isobars indicate when they are far apart?
Light windsWidely-spaced isobars indicate low wind speeds.
The label L indicates an area of low?
low pressure on a weather map
Why are isotherms generally parallel across the US?
Isotherms connect points of equal temperature on a weather map. The lines of isotherms naturally run parallel to each other. Their spacing indicates temperature variance.
Which type of map shows landscape features?
A topographical map, or "topo" map, shows landscape features such as ground elevations and waterways.dhdjdjjj
What do the numbers on the isobars mean?
Lines of equal (iso) air pressure (barometric).Similar concepts are isohypnals (equal contours of rainfall); and isopachs, lines of equal thickness of a deposit; and isotherms which concern temperature.
Why are winds stronger than others?
On a field map, the winds are the strongest when the isobars are very close together, and the pressure gradient is high.
What closely spaced isobar on a weather map indicate?
Strong winds
On a weather map how can you compare the speed and direction of winds?
By looking at the isobars.
Why some winds are stronger than others?
On a field map, the winds are the strongest when the isobars are very close together, and the pressure gradient is high.
What does a key on a weather map tell you?
The key on a weather map tells you the what the colors on the map stand for, such as the type of precipation, whether the precipation is light, medium, heavy, etc., and the codes for any other weather events, such as strong winds, severe weather, etc. the map shows.

Why is using a weather map important?
weather map is so important for us.with the help of weather map we can determine the average temperature and mean rainfall,climatic condition,movement of wind and the vegetation of a particular region
What does a low on the weather map show?
A low pressure area usually indicates strong winds, and probably rain.
By looking at a weather map how could you identify an area that is receiving strong winds?
by regions where the isobars are close together:D ...A+
The weather map shows many pressure gradients close together What things should you take to be prepared for the day's weather?
