Isobar map

http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gl)/guides/maps/sfcobs/cntr/wind.rxml

Isobar maps show lines of equal atmospheric pressure. Each line goes through a pressure of a given value. This map shows how wind blows parallel with the isobar lines because of the pressure. This map qualifies as a isobar map because you can see the pressure differences as you pass through each line.
