Jet Streams.
High altitude high velocity winds are known as jet streams. These narrow bands of strong winds flow in the upper atmosphere, typically between 7 and 12 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Jet streams can influence the weather patterns and air travel routes.
Because of the high altitude, these winds are not subject to much friction, hence they are faster than winds closer to earth's surface.
High altitude, high-velocity winds are commonly referred to as "jet streams." These fast-moving air currents typically occur in the upper levels of the atmosphere, particularly in the troposphere, and can influence weather patterns significantly. Jet streams are primarily driven by the temperature differences between air masses and can vary in strength and position.
No. High altitude winds are certainly strongest in the jets streams, but there is other wind.

High-altitude high-velocity winds, often referred to as jet streams, are fast-flowing air currents found in the upper levels of the atmosphere, typically between 6 to 12 miles above the Earth's surface. These winds can reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour and play a significant role in weather patterns, influencing storm movements and temperature distributions. Jet streams are primarily driven by the temperature differences between polar and tropical air masses and are most prominent during winter months. They can affect aviation, climate, and weather forecasting.
They're called 'jet streams'.
A small storm that forms when a thunderstorm meets high-altitude horizontal winds is called a microburst. It is a localized column of sinking air within a thunderstorm, which can produce strong winds at the surface.
