Isotachs

    On this map, we can see isotach lines which help to read wind direction by connecting the points where wind speed is equal. This map, of the United States, clearly shows the different isotach lines and their wind speed. Isotach contours are also used for high levels of the atmosphere in order to help locate jet streams.
