- Jet stream - Wikipedia
Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow air currents in the Earth's atmosphere [1] The main jet streams are located near the altitude of the tropopause and are westerly winds, flowing west to east around the globe
- The Jet Stream - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Jet streams are relatively narrow bands of strong wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere, typically occurring around 30,000 feet (9,100 meters) in elevation Within jet streams, the winds blow from west to east, but the band often shifts north and south because jet streams follow the boundaries between hot and cold air

Jet streams are characterized by wind motions that generate strong vertical shearing action, which is thought to be largely responsible for clear air turbulence A brief treatment of jet streams follows For full treatment, see climate: Jet streams
- What Is a Jetstream and How Does It Affect Weather?
A jetstream is a narrow band of fast-moving air currents in the upper levels of the atmosphere, typically found in the tropopause, which is the boundary between the troposphere (the lowest layer where weather occurs) and the stratosphere above
