The Pressure Field Leads

01

Pressure explains motion

Every call starts with the gradient, not the headline wind on the coast.

02

Fronts mark the work

Blue triangles and red arcs show where air masses are actually changing.

03

Stations keep it local

Cloud, wind, temperature, and pressure sit together before we generalize.

04

Confidence stays visible

Uncertain boundaries stay annotated, so the next desk can audit the read.
