isobar patterns
Explanation:
Literally "isobar frames", of course, but I can only find a handful of instances of this expression and all related to nuclear physics, not climate. Nor, for that matter, can I find any examples of "marco(s) isobárico(s)" apart from this question. I think they're probably referring to isobar patterns, a similar concept, which fits the context, and a standard collocation.

"The wind changes from day to day because the isobar patterns change."

"In forecasting, pressure is used to analyze the isobar patterns, or lines of equal pressure. From the isobar patterns, analysts can determine wind speeds, centers of high and low pressure, and other critical information."

Explanation:
Why in the E to E section? You haven't written one word in English ... marcos isobáricos is no English. Fortunately, I can guess quite well that you need these words, the first is a nearer translation, but the second is also used for the same thing, which are lines on a map linking points of the same pressure values in reality measured and given in "millibar", "bar" being the measure of pressure in meteorology. The lines are usually drawn at a distance of 5 millibars after some adjustments according to hight.

neutral  Peter Simon: your source mentions this among good stuff, but the proper name for this is usually isobaric lines, not patterns - the pattern of points with the same pressure is the curve, or line on a map

  -> The proper name for what? Isobaric lines/curves are líneas/curvas isobáricas or simply isobaras/isóbaras. "Marco isobárico" implies a pattern or distribution of isobars, which can be e.g. more or less closely spaced, straighter or more curved, etc.
