  2. Jet stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream

    Finally, a 2021 study was able to reconstruct jet stream patterns over the past 1,250 years based on Greenland ice cores, and found that all of the recently observed changes remain within range of natural variability: the earliest likely time of divergence is in 2060, under the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 which implies continually ...

    When something blocks the jet stream’s westerly flow, it forces pockets of Arctic air southward. How might climate change affect these weather patterns? Scientists compare the wind strength of ...

    In recent months, the jet stream’s patterns trapped and stalled a ridge of high pressure over northern Canada, which caused a heat wave and primed the landscape for the wildfires that later sent ...

  5. Atmospheric circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_circulation

    The atmospheric circulation pattern that George Hadley described was an attempt to explain the trade winds. The Hadley cell is a closed circulation loop which begins at the equator. There, moist air is warmed by the Earth's surface, decreases in density and rises.

    The jet stream pattern, which has been generally west to east this weekend, will soon develop a large southward buckle. As this occurs, the doors to the Arctic will open. The big dip in the jet ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_the_El_Niño...

    During El Niño, the jet stream is oriented from west to east across the southern portion of the United States, making the region more susceptible to severe weather outbreaks. During La Niña, the jet stream and severe weather are likely to be farther north than normal. [17]

  9. 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.
