This is an isotach map. An isotach is a line on a map showing the different windspeeds in a certian area. This particular map is a picture of Hurrican Ava from 1973. The dashed lines are the isotachs while the solid lines are the directions of the winds. They have two seperate set of lines because although isotachs show the speeds they do not show the direction of the wind.
