According to the Merrian-Webster online dictionary, Isotach are “lines on a map or chart connecting points of equal wind speed.” This map features many different isotachs. The purple shading indicates a wind  speed of 200 millibars m/s. The streamlines indicate direction of the wind. The other colors are other speeds of the wind.
