Isobars, or isobaric maps, are maps of which display air pressure and the movement of air currents throughout the atmosphere. Technically, an isobar is a line connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure. The above map is an isobar map type because it matches all the criteria, it is a map with lines connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure, depicted by the continuous lines all numbered the amount of pressure those air currents are giving off in the regions they're located. Here you can also see a low atmospheric pressure system moving into Florida and a high pressure system up in the Rockies.
