What does close spacing of isobars on the weather map represent?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
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.

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.
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.
When isobars are close together this means that there will be?
High winds. The closer the isobars - the higher the wind speed will be.
The weather map shows many pressure gradients close together What things should you take to be prepared for the day's weather?
Tightly-packed isobars portend strong winds (A+) answer a hat or scarf because of high winds
How do you read isobars?
The isobars form layered rings on the weather map.The closer the layers of the rings are to eachother, the lower the air pressure in that area is. The further apart they are the higher the air pressure. The closer the isobars are, the stronger the wind is. The air pressure is also depicted by letters. In an area where the isobars show that it has a high pressure, a 'H' will be in the the centre circle. If there is low air pressure there will be an 'L'. Air pressure is the density of air molecules. High air pressure is heaps of air molecules close together. Low air pressure is when they are far apart. When the air pressure changes from high to low, wind is created.

Where on a weather map wind speeds are related to?
On a weather map, the lines of equal pressure (isobars) also illustrate the pressure gradient or change of pressure per distance. The higher the pressure gradient, the higher the winds speed. Thus, when the isobars are close together, the gradient is high, and winds are higher than where the isobars are further apart. Wind can also be affected by local considerations, hills, valleys, and buildings can modify the gradient wind's direction and speed.
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+

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.

How does wind get started?
Wind is caused by differences in air pressure from place to place. If you look at a weather forecast map, you should see lines of equal pressure, these are called isobars. If you see a large area of equal pressure, the winds in that area will be light, this is called an anticyclone. If you see an area with the isobars close together there will be strong winds there. In extreme cases usually in tropical areas where there is a high amount of power from the sun, the isobars will form a circle with a very low pressure in the centre, and a hurricane will be formed.
What is the line spacing after the the complimentary close?
Signature Block. It is atleast four lines below the complimentary close.
On a weather map where are the highest windspeeds?
On a weather map, high wind speeds are indicated where thin lines with arrows are spaced close together. This indicates strong winds and the direction in which they will move.
