Isotach Maps are visual representations of windspeed in a given area. The contour lines, similar to Isobars, show various levels of windspeed. The direction is normally indicated by a small arrow. These maps are useful for monitoring wind currents and predicting weather patterns. When building wind turbines, engineers reference Isotach maps to plan construction in frequent high velocity zones. This map shows the wind speeds in miles per hour surrounding florida. Notice how the the arrows and contour lines align with the green and blue pressure masses.
