what does closely spaced isobars indicate about wind speed?
no wind strong winds
variable winds light breezes
In meteorology (a subfield of Natural Science, specifically Geography or Atmospheric Science), isobars are lines of equal atmospheric pressure. Closely spaced isobars mean a steep pressure gradient. A steeper pressure gradient leads to stronger winds because wind is driven by pressure differences. So closely spaced isobars indicate strong winds.
