Isobars: Rapid City, South Dakota




Isobars are lines that show consistent pressure. The distance between one isobar to the next signifies the difference in barometric pressure from one location to the next. Each line is designated a specific interval and is depicted on either a map, graph, or grid to show the data found. 

In this map of Rapid City, SD there was unusual differences in pressure resulting in high winds and drastic pressure changes from one location to the next.
