Isotach Map



http://wxmaps.org/pix/avnmr.00hr.html


An isotach is a line on a map that joins points of equal elevation.  On weather maps, these can depict wind speed, temperature gradients and weather fronts.  In the above picture, temperature, humidity and wind are being measured by color shading.  The lighter the shade means the lower the speed.
