Is "The Globe Inn" beside that line on the map? (6)
I believe the answer is:
isobar
'that line on the map?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is the globe inn' is the wordplay.
'the globe' becomes 'o' (O resembles a globe).
'inn' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'is'+'o'+'bar'='ISOBAR'
'beside' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for isobar that I've seen before include "It connects points of equal air pressure" , "meteorologist's line" , "depression indicator?" , "Air pressure line on a weather chart" , "Line of equal barometric pressure on a map" .)
