The jet stream is located in the tropopause. This is the layer between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The jet stream is very strong wind that blows eastward.

These are lines of equal wind speed. They are most often contoured in the upper levels of the atmosphere, especially at the jet stream level. They are important for locating the jet stream and jet streaks within a jet stream
The ozone layer is located in stratosphere. It is a part of out atmosphere.

The jet stream.
The polar jet stream is, on average, 10 kilometers (6 miles) in the atmosphere, which places it near the top of the Troposphere. The subtropical jet stream tends to be a little higher - around 13 kilometers - because the air is warmer. Warmer air takes up more space, therefore the top of the atmosphere is higher.Typically the jet stream is found between 200 and 300 hectopascals (hPa, which is equivalent to millibars, or mb). In atmospheric science, the altitude in the atmosphere is often given in terms of what the atmospheric pressure is for reasons that we won't get into. In any event, these are the levels we look at for the jet stream.The layer of the atmosphere where the jet stream resides is not completely clear. The most common definition given for the top of the troposphere is where the temperature stops decreasing and begins increasing. This is almost always at altitudes above 200mb. Therefore, the jet stream is generally found in the troposphere, near the tropopause. It is rarely as high as the stratosphere.

These are lines of equal wind speed. They are most often contoured in the upper levels of the atmosphere, especially at the jet stream level. They are important for locating the jet stream and jet streaks within a jet stream
The main jet streams are located near the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with altitude) and the stratosphere(where temperature increases with altitude).
