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
Global Jet Stream Map - Netweather Drag the map around to move it, the mouse wheel will zoom in and out (pinch to zoom on mobile and tablet) The maps update four times a day - and are an initial small feature using this new mapping technology - keep your eye out for further additions soon
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 Stream - Education Jet streams are currents of air high above Earth They move eastward at altitudes of about eight to 15 kilometers (five to nine miles) They form where large temperature differences exist in the atmosphere An air current is a flowing movement of air within a larger body of air
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
Jet stream | Upper-level winds, Atmospheric circulation, Global weather . . . 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
Jet stream facts and information | National Geographic What is the jet stream—and how does it influence the weather? The air currents that drive the world's weather are being disrupted by climate change, here's how Jet streams are fast-moving
