A line drawn on a weather map connecting points of equal pressure is called an isobar. The isobars are generated from mean sea level pressure reports and the pressure values are given in millibars. The image I found is a cartoon of a weather man showing an isobar map. I thought this related to our discussion about how much or how little weather reporters really know about what they are showing the audience.
