What is the differ the jet stream and global wind?
jet streams travel above global winds. might not be a straight forward answer, but its something.

What are the two jet streams in the Southern Hemisphere?
The two jet streams in the Southern Hemisphere are the Subtropical Jet Stream and the Polar Jet Stream. The Subtropical Jet Stream is located closer to the equator and the Polar Jet Stream is found closer to the South Pole. These high-altitude, fast-flowing air currents play a significant role in influencing weather patterns in the Southern Hemisphere.
Where can a jet stream map be found?
Jet stream maps are used to show the day's high wind speed levels and the direction of the jetstream. A person seeking jet stream maps can find them on the Intellicast, Accuweather, Weather Images, and Wunderground sites.
What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?

How are the jet stream and the gulf stream different?

What is the difference between a continental jet stream and a polar jet stream?

What are the two jet streams in the northern hemisphere?
mid latitude jet stream and jet stream
What weather word starts with J?
jet stream
Do jet stream occur in the mesosphere?

What lies along the subtropical jet stream?
