An isotach is very similar to an isobar except for
they measure two different things but in the same way. An idobar is a line that
connects points where equal pressure has been recorded. An isotach is a line
that connects points where winds of equal speeds have been recorded. This
isotach shows northwesterly winds of 75-100 kt across the North and South
Dakota as well as Montana with broadly diffluent flow downstream across the mid
and upper Mississippi River Valley.
