But when the vortex in the stratosphere is disrupted—split, displaced, or elongated—it can push the jet stream below it south, bringing Arctic air into cities in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
Dartmouth researchers used machine learning and long-term climate records to construct a timeline of jet-stream variability since 1901. Nearly all prior studies of the jet stream focus on the period ...
The Jet Stream. Meteorologists have recently discovered that from 10,000 to 40,000 feet above the surface of the earth there are strange rivers of air that can travel as fast as 300 miles per hour.
