Isobaric and Isothermal Lines.
"General Science" by Bertha M. Clark
One of the maps shows the actual isobars as they were recorded by the Weather Bureau.
"The Right Time" by Walter Bupp
The isobaric and wind charts show that on the whole the winds blow out from the inner polar basin, especially in winter and spring.
"Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 5" by Various
A cyclone with crowded isobars always has strong winds; when the isobars are widely spaced the winds are gentle.
"The Mentor: The Weather" by Charles Fitzhugh Talman
In most cases the 29.80-inch isobar furnishes a good limit, out to which the isobars may be traced.

In science:
Because the star is rotating, the equilibrium isobars are not spherical, but nearly (the stellar radius is larger at the equator than the pole by ≈ R2Ω2/g ≈ 100 m for typical parameters).
Rotational Evolution During Type I X-Ray Bursts
Such fluctuations are quasi-adiabatic rather than quasi-isobaric in the large-η limit, and trigger the wave mode of TI, rather than the condensation mode, being stable to first order.
The nonlinear development of the thermal instability in the atomic ISM and its interaction with random fluctuations
As mentioned in the Introduction, in this paper we are concerned with cooling functions which imply instability only for the isobaric mode.
The nonlinear development of the thermal instability in the atomic ISM and its interaction with random fluctuations
Therefore, isobaric evolution cannot occur at scales larger than a few parsecs.
The nonlinear development of the thermal instability in the atomic ISM and its interaction with random fluctuations
In this limit, the velocity perturbations are unstable when the isobaric condition is satisfied, because they behave as a condensation mode (see, e.g., Shu 1992; Paper III).
