Isotachs

An Isotach is a line drawn on a map that has constant windspeed.  This is used for meteorologist.  These lines are shown often on radars to let people know what the wind directions are for a given area.  This map is showing fairly high wind speeds for the gulf and atlantic coast.  If i had to guess I would say this map was given to let people know of wind speeds from an incoming hurricane.
