Jet Stream

He said that La Niña has helped trigger very strong jet-stream winds that have mixed warm, humid air at lower levels of the atmosphere with relatively cool air at upper levels. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Erdman says these strong jet-stream disturbances tend to enhance the difference in wind speed and direction at various heights above the surface, which helps sustain the supercell thunderstorms that spawn tornadoes. ❋ Unknown (2011)

It could also turn out to be another 2007 when the jet-stream dropped after a lovely April, causing bad weather and then extensive flooding. ❋ Unknown (2011)

I had not realized that some jet-stream tailwinds had sufficient velocity to make a normal aircraft's ground speed supersonic though its air speed remains subsonic, when the velocity of the surrounding air adds sufficiently to that of the plane. ❋ Peter Pesic (2011)

Combining weather, jet-stream and air-traffic data would be valuable for domestic carriers too. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Harvesting just 1% of the energy from jet-stream winds could produce enough power for everybody on the planet. ❋ Unknown (2008)

People aboard strode about, appearing altogether carefree as they sipped wine, laughed at the jet-stream, and discussed topics of summer triviality. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This is a typically "El Nino" pattern, when that happens, you get the jet-stream that floats right over Florida for most of the wintertime. ❋ Unknown (2009)

What does a successful simulation of jet-stream turbulence mean? ❋ Unknown (2007)

They report a successful DNS of jet-stream turbulence but with a vertical resolution of 1 to 10 m, much finer than what is possible with atmospheric models. ❋ Unknown (2007)

OT: I think that the “jet-stream” analogy is significantly flawed as an analogy. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Those areas are more affected by the subtropical jet-stream configurations to their north. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Monday, Jan. 17, 2005 - 2: 14 a.m. The clouds pass by outside the window like oxen, and he drifts off to sleep, an unconscious body hurtling through the jet-stream at 500mph. ❋ Justinker (2005)

Sometimes jet-stream encounters can take a page from the X-Files . ❋ Jeff Rice (2005)

December 22 dawned clear and cold, but with a jet-stream wind blowing hard across the high peaks. ❋ Aron Ralston (2004)
