What Else Do We Contour? Isopleth is a line on a map that connects all the points of a given variable with the SAME SPECIFIED VALUE Isobar - line of constant pressure Isotherm - line of constant temperature Isotach - line of constant wind speed Isodrosotherm - a line of constant dewpoint Isohyet - a line of constant precipitation accumulation Isoneph - a line of constant cloudiness Isohaline - a line of constant salinity (saltiness in the ocean) Isoheight - a line of constant height Isobars in Blue (lines of constant pressure) Can you spot Hurricane Ike??? Which Way Do the Winds Go? Geostrophy Notes about Isobars Closeness of lines tells us how strong pressure gradient force (PGF) is Very close lines = great pressure difference over small distance ---- large PGF! **Think of topographic map ** Steep terrain where lines close together ** Here: large PGF when lines close together = Big Force Isotachs (wdsp) and Isoheights Isotherms Contouring Rules Contours never cross each other A contour line has values higher than the line value on one side and values lower on the other side of it Isotherm of 10°F has temps below 10°F on one side and temps above 10°F on the other Contours are only drawn where there is data! Evenly spaced increments are always used (say every 5 degrees and every 4 mb for pressure) Easiest to find a high or low value first and work from there Temperature observations Where do we draw the 15°F isotherm???? Examples Examples Temperature observations Where do we draw the 15°F isotherm???? Examples Temperature observations Where should we draw the 75oF and 80oF isotherms? Where should we draw the 75F and 80F isotherms? Examples Temperature observations Where should we draw the 75oF and 80oF isotherms? Where should we draw the 75F and 80F isotherms? New Times In the olden days, all weather maps and contour maps were done by hand! Now, computers draw contour maps and determine wind direction and speed - as well as many other things Conto
