What are narrow belts of strong winds near the tops of the troposphere called?

Jet streams are found in the upper troposphere - these are high velocity air flows that follow a curved path moving west-to-east around the globe.Narrow belts of strong winds are called jet streams. Jet streams blow near the top of the troposphere. The thin layer of air that surrounds the Earth is called the atmosphere.
