Isotach Map


This is an example of an Isotach map. It illustrates the wind pattern for Hurricane Ava, June 6th 1973. There are two different lines present on this map. The solid lines are the streamlines which represent the direction of airflow. The dashed lines are the Isotachs and represent wind speed measured in meters per second.
