The jet stram often plays an important tole in tornado developent. The strong upper-level winds of the jet stream create wind shear. Wiand shear can affect convection in thunderstorms so that they aren't "choked" by their own rain-cooled air. This allows storms to become stronger and last longer, making it more likely that they will be severe. If the setup of wind shear is right, it can make thunderstorms rotate, turning them into supercells. Most tornadoes are generate from the rotation in a supercell.

does air traffic affect the jet stream?
No, air traffic does not directly affect the jet stream. The jet stream is a high-altitude wind current caused by the rotation of the Earth and atmospheric pressure differences. While air traffic can contribute to localized weather patterns, it does not significantly impact the behavior or strength of the jet stream.
What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?
The jet stream
What is the difference between a continental jet stream and a polar jet stream?
A continental jet-stream travels parallel to the equator - a polar jet-stream travels in a north/south direction.
What are bands of high speed wind high above Earth's surface that can affect weather?
The Jet Stream
Why is the jet stream important?
a jet stream is important because of climate control
What is the similarity between tornado and jet stream?
Both tornadoes and the jet stream are weather patterns that involve strong winds, aside from that they are completely different.
How does the jet stream affect flight times?

What factors affect the force of flowing water?
The moon and jet-stream do
Which is stronger polar jet stream or subtropical jet stream?
Polar jet stream is stronger.
What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?
The jet stream
How are the jet stream and the gulf stream different?
A gulf stream is water ,and a jet stream is air.
Where is the jet stream located?
The jet stream is located in the stratosphere.
What is the difference between a continental jet stream and a polar jet stream?
A continental jet-stream travels parallel to the equator - a polar jet-stream travels in a north/south direction.
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?
No. The jet stream is in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
