Isotach lines are contour lines that connect constant speeds of wind. The closeness between lines determine the degree of wind shear (the closer, the more intense). Isotachs do not indicate wind direction but generally are parallel to the steamlines of a jet stream. In the map above, extra arrows are used to indicate wind direction while colors are used to reinforce intensity.
