Is getting a round in the pub for the meteorologists (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isobar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pub for the meteorologists' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'is getting a round in the' is the wordplay.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'a round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'in the' becomes 'bar' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'is'+'o'+'bar'='ISOBAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for isobar that I've seen before include "Map-line showing places with equal air pressure" , "Barometric curve" , "Contour" , "It connects points of equal air pressure" , "Weather map feature" .)
