Day 43 Investigation 8 part 4 Pressure Maps

Pressure Map of the US Weather maps are used by meteorologist Information is gathered from weather balloons, satellites, and other weather sources Air Pressure is very IMPORTANT

Pressure Maps and Isobars #’s represent atmosphere pressure in millibars Low Pressure High Pressure Lines are isobars Iso - same bar - pressure Connect all recording stations where the atmosphere pressure is the same

Low and High Pressure Readings Lowest Pressure 984 mb Highest Pressure 1032 mb

Which way does the wind blow? From Billings to Kansas City?From Kansas City to Billings? The wind blows from Kansas City to Billings

Which way does the wind blow? From Buffalo to Kansas City? From Kansas City to Buffalo? The wind blows from Kansas City to Buffalo

Isobar Intervals What is the difference between isobar lines? 1032 mb mb = 4 mb Why is pressure difference between adjacent lines always the same but the distance is not? Shows how fast the pressure is changing

Isobar Intervals What do you think it means when the isobars lines are far apart? Gradual change in pressure What do you think it means when the isobar lines are close together Rapid change in pressure

Isobar Intervals Wind speed will be highest between two locations where isobars are close together What can the distance between isobars tell us about how fast the wind is blowing? Isobars are close together, pressure changes quickly from one location to another

High & low pressure on a weather map shows where air flows from  High-pressure to low-pressure  Air movement is called wind

Isobar Intervals High and Low pressure on a weather map shows us where air flows from areas of high pressure towards areas of low pressure The air movement is called wind
