isobar
n.
line on a weather map or chart that connects areas of equal barometric pressure (Meteorology)
Isobar
The word isobar derives from the two
ancient Greek words, ισος (isos), meaning 'equal', and βαρος (baros), meaning 'weight'.In
meteorology,
thermodynamics, and similar science (and engineering), an isobar is a
contour line of equal or constant
pressure on a graph, plot, or map. (For further discussion, see under Contour line)In
nuclear physics, two
nuclides with the same mass number are called isobars. For example, boron-12 and carbon-12 are isobars.Isobar has also occasionally been used as a
synonym for a
heat pipe.Isobar is the title of a 2007 science fiction film.
Isobar is an international network of digital marketing agencies.
