Isotach


Given a certain area, a isotach map shows winds speeds within that area. The distance of the lines between one another depicts the speed of the winds. The closer the lines are together the faster the wind speeds are. For example, within this map you can see the lines toward the north of the map are much closer together than those in the south, this in other words indicating higher wind speeds in the north.
