Jet streams are strong, high-altitude winds that can help an aircraft go faster from west to east, but can be unpredictable ...

Jet streams drive most of the low-pressure systems we see on an everyday basis. Winds aloft can scream along at several hundred kilometres per hour, crashing together and spreading apart as they ...

Jet streams play a key role in how tornadoes are formed. When it comes to tornadoes, you’ve seen them, and you’ve seen what they can do. But do you really know how a tornado forms into that ...

Winds in the jet stream frequently roar along at more than 200 km/h. These winds twist and turn as troughs dig toward the south and ridges climb high into northern latitudes.

Earth’s jet streams — currents of air that wrap around the planet — are worrying some climate scientists, who this week described the pattern as “chaotic,” “insane” and looking like ...

He says the change in temperature between the Arctic and the south is not as great as it used to be and that's lessening the gradient of the jet stream, causing it to become more loopy or curvy form.

During the mostly snowless winter of 2011-12 and the record warm March 2012, the jet stream instead formed a giant upside-down U, curving dramatically in the opposite direction.

Scientists discovered a jet stream escaping from a black hole 'wobbling' in an unexpected pattern in 2015, though it took four more years to verify the data. This is an illustration of what they ...
