Isobars

http://people.ysu.edu/~wrbuckler/Weather/wxsites.html

Isobaric maps are used to depict the changes in average atmospheric pressure across an area. The curved lines each represent a different barometric pressure compared to that of sea level rather than surface pressure at that location. These types of maps can be useful in predicting future weather patterns and are commonly displayed during weather reports on the news channel.
