The word isobar derives from the two ancient Greek words, ισος (isos), meaning 'equal', and βαρος(baros), meaning 'weight'.

  • In meteorology, an isobar is a contour line of equal or constant pressure on a graph, plot, or map. (For further discussion, see under Contour line)
  • In nuclear physics, two nuclides with the same mass number are called isobars. For example, boron-12 and carbon-12 are isobars.
  • Isobar has also occasionally been used as a synonym for a heat pipe.
  • Isobar is an international network of digital marketing agencies.
  • Isobar is a nightclub in Hobart.

How are isobars formed?

Isobars are formed by connecting points on a map that have the same atmospheric pressure. Meteorologists use isobars to represent areas of high and low pressure, with closely spaced isobars indicating strong pressure gradients and potentially windy conditions.


How do you determine low pressure and high pressure using isobars on a weather map?

On a weather map, low pressure is typically indicated by closely spaced isobars, while high pressure is indicated by widely spaced isobars. Low pressure systems are associated with stormy weather, while high pressure systems are associated with fair weather. The closer the isobars are together, the stronger the winds will be.
