A Steep Or Strong Pressure Gradient Appears On A Weather Map As

Pressure Systems AOPA Aircraft Owners and Pilots.. A steep pressure gradient (the pressure difference between a high and a low) is like a steep slope on a sectional chart or terrain map: The isobars, like the contour lines, are close together. Note, the pressure gradient horizontally is small compared to the change of pressure with height which is exponential. Ver mais

WebClosely spaced contours means pressure is changing rapidly with distance. This is known as a strong pressure gradient and produces fast winds. It is analogous to a steep slope.
