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.
Are air particles of sound far apart or close together?
high sound particles are near, and low sound as far apart particles.
Gravity depends on how far -------- andhow -------- the objects are?
Gravity can depend on how far apart and how heavy the objects are.
How do isobars measure air pressure?
Isobars are not measured. An isobar describes a part of a thermodynamic process during which the pressure doesn't change. It is also used as a term in graph tables where it describes the behavior of a material at a constant pressure.
Why do jet streams flow parallel to isobars?
Because jet streams are above the friction layer, they have a negligible effect. The wind is balanced by the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient so that the winds flow parallel to isobars.
How do you determine low pressure and high pressure using isobars on a weather map?
High pressure: The isobars will be far apart. Low pressure: The isobars will be very close together.
How can you locate region of low wind speed on a weather map?
where isobars are spaced far apart.
You can locate regions of low wind speed on a weather map by locating what?
regions where isobars are spaced far apart
What does close spacing of isobars on the weather map represent?
Closely spaced isobars indicate large pressure changes over a small area and suggest strengthening winds.Widely spaced isobars portray a "flat" or weak pressure gradient typical of light-wind situations.
What is indicated when contour lines are far apart on a topographic map?
On a map they would indicate a steep slope And on a synoptic chart they would indicate stronger winds the closer they are. Depends on the differences in barometric pressure between the isobars.
Contour lines that are far apart indicate?
a gentle slope
How are isobars used?
in graphs to indicate lines of equal pressureIsobars show wind speed. The closer the isobars are spaced - the stronger the wind is.
What are Isobars and what does it mean when they are close together?
It means that there is a steep gradient, or pressure change, and strong winds.
What kind of weather do ice-o bars bring?
Isobars on a weather map indicate areas of constant pressure. They circle areas of high or low pressure. Isobars themselves do not indicate weather, but are a tool for understanding large scale weather processes as related to pressure systems. However, if the isobars are close together, wind is expected.
On topographic maps contour lines that are far apart indicate?
They show a narrow area
What kind of topography does contour lines that are far apart indicate?
Contour lines that are far apart indicate a gentle slope. Because contour lines connect points with the same elevation, wide spacing indicates that the elevation is not changing drastically.
What lines do meteorologists draw?
Meteorologists draw lines to indicate air pressure, which are called isobars.
