- In mass spectrometry, ions with the same mass, e.g., isobaric peptides, namely peptides with the same molecular weight

Usage examples of "isobaric".
Weather charts of the Grand Banks for the early hours of October 30th show isobaric lines converging in one black mass on the north side of the storm.
A storm with tightly packed isobaric lines is said to have a steep pressure gradient, and the wind will rush downhill, as it were, with particular violence.
Connington was the pseudonym of Alfred Walter Stewart (1880-1947), a lecturer on physical chemistry and radioactivity, who became the first scientist to recognise the existence of isobaric atoms: hence Sir Clinton's knowledge of science and medicine.
This in a measure accounted for the slight thickness of ice and snow, for the isobaric lines would slope, and consequently what wind there was would flow towards the interior of the archipelago, whose surface was colder than the surrounding ocean.
