Surface Pressure and Water Temperature Data

Surface-pressure information appears as pressure isobars and

pressure centers. Isobars connect points of equal pressure.

Pressure readings can help to determine weather and wind

conditions. High-pressure areas are generally associated with

fair weather. Low-pressure areas are generally associated with

clouds and the chance of precipitation. Isobars packed closely

together show a strong pressure gradient. Strong pressure

gradients are associated with areas of stronger winds.

Pressure units are shown in millibars (mb), inches of Mercury

(inHg), or hectopascals (hPa).

Colored shading indicates the surface temperature of the water,

as shown in the legend in the corner of the display.
