  2. Jet stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream

    The northern polar jet stream is the most important one for aviation and weather forecasting, as it is much stronger and at a much lower altitude than the subtropical jet streams and also covers many countries in the northern hemisphere, [38] while the southern polar jet stream mostly circles Antarctica and sometimes the southern tip of South ...

  3. Upper-atmospheric models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper-atmospheric_models

    A jet stream perturbation model is employed by Weather Logistics UK, [1] which simulates the diversion of the air streams in the upper atmosphere.North Atlantic air flow modelling is simulated by combining a monthly jet stream climatology input calculated at 20 to 30°W, with different blocking high patterns.

  4. Madden–Julian oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madden–Julian_oscillation

    [2] [3] Unlike a standing pattern like the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Madden–Julian oscillation is a traveling pattern that propagates eastward, at approximately 4 to 8 m/s (14 to 29 km/h; 9 to 18 mph), through the atmosphere above the warm parts of the Indian and Pacific oceans.

  5. Pacific storm train to resume along West Coast - AOL

    www.aol.com/weather/pacific-storm-train-resume...

    A change in the weather pattern will bring more of a west-to-east flow in the jet stream, which will usher in a string of quick-moving storms from the Pacific Ocean. In general, the storms will ...

  6. Pacific–North American teleconnection pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific–North_American...

    During the negative phase, the jet stream is retracted over East Asia, producing a blocking weather pattern over the North Pacific. [1] [7] Some of the energy that drives the PNA originates from the barotropic instability produced by the jet, potentially exciting Rossby waves. Shifts in the jet stream can induce changes in air pressure ...

  7. Astronomers detect ferocious jet-stream winds on alien planet

    The supersonic jet-stream winds circling WASP-127b at its equator are the f. In Earth's upper atmosphere, a fast-moving band of air called the jet stream blows with winds of more than 275 miles ...

  8. Polar vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_vortex

    Studies published in 2017 and 2018 identified stalling patterns of Rossby waves in the northern hemisphere jet stream as the culprit behind other almost stationary extreme weather events, such as the 2018 European heatwave, the 2003 European heat wave, 2010 Russian heat wave or the 2010 Pakistan floods, and suggested that these patterns were ...

  9. Thermal wind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_wind

    Because thermal wind causes an increase in wind velocity with height, the westerly pattern increases in intensity up until the tropopause, creating a strong wind current known as the jet stream. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres exhibit similar jet stream patterns in the mid-latitudes.
