Isotachs

Isotachs are much like isobars, in that their lineage connects points with like data. The differing factor here is that instead of pressure, isotachs convey wind speed. This weather map is from April 28, 2008. Analysis of this map will suggest that on this day, the wind speed was nearly the same throughout Oregon, Idaho and Colorado.
