Isotach

Isotach- a contour line that joins points of equal or constant wind speed. 




Isotachs are another kind of isoline. Isotachs can be mapped in the upper or lower atmosphere. They can be used to analyze wind flow and can be important in weather predictions. This map also includes wind barbs to show the direction that the winds are flowing in.
