Talk:Isobar

can isobars cross?????
- no, they represent lines of constant presure and can be used to infer wind directions and speeds.Dr Denim 19:34, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Mayhap it would be benificial to have a section titled something along the lines of "Other terms using the prefix 'Iso'". And it probably wouldn't hurt to note that the counterpart to an isobar is an isallobar(sp?) which is a line of constant change in pressure...which is used for helping to determine the direction in which a low or high pressure system is traveling...Dr Denim 19:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
