JET STREAMS

JET STREAMS. Jet Streams. Regions of air that flow much faster than surrounding air Speeds usually between 100 - 200 knots Defined as speeds of 50 kts or greater Can be found at different altitudes: Semi-permanent jets are about 10 km above surface Polar jet Subtropical jet

Wind Notes

Wind Notes. Why Air Moves. Wind is created by differences in air pressure Bigger difference = faster wind Caused by unequal heating of earth. Air. The air by the equator is warm and rises Low pressure The air by the poles is cold and dense High pressure
