The only type of clouds that occur high enough to be propelled by the jet stream are cirrus clouds, which are composed mostly of ice crystals.

Can clouds ride the jet stream?

Clouds are pushed by wind currents, including the jet stream, but they do not "ride" the jet stream like a vehicle would. The jet stream can affect the position and movement of clouds, but clouds are not carried along by the jet stream in the same way that a plane might be.


Does the doldrums lies along the polar jet stream?

no


What lies along the subtropical jet stream?

High or low pressure lies along the subtropical jet stream, depending on the time of year. The pressure gradient follows the path of the jet stream.


Does the intertropical convergence lies along the subtropical jet stream?

The subtropical jet lies just poleward of the ITCZ.


Does the wind speed in a jet stream stay the same?

No. The wind speed of the jet stream is constantly changing and varies at different points along it. The winds are generally fastest in the winter.


What two terms are used to describe storms that move from west to east in the middle latitudes pushed by the jet stream flow?

Westerlies


What can i draw for the word jet stream?

You can draw a colorful, flowing ribbon representing the jet stream, with arrows indicating its direction across a stylized map of the Earth. Incorporate clouds and weather patterns to illustrate its impact on climate and storms. Adding a plane flying through the jet stream can enhance the illustration, emphasizing its significance in aviation.


What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?

The jet stream


Which is stronger polar jet stream or subtropical jet stream?

The polar jet stream is generally stronger and faster-moving than the subtropical jet stream. The polar jet stream forms at higher latitudes and is located closer to the poles, while the subtropical jet stream is located at lower latitudes. The polar jet stream is associated with larger temperature contrasts and stronger pressure gradients, resulting in stronger winds compared to the subtropical 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 is attached to the jet stream?

Low Pressure Systems are embedded within and travel along with the Jet Stream. At the Alaskan Panhandle resides what is termed "The Mother Low"; it spawns the Lows that travel with the Jet Stream. Another 'local component' [western coast of North America] is the so-called "Pineapple Express", warm winds from Hawaii!


Why are some parts of Britain usually warmer?

Because a jet stream goes past England every year which carries a lot of wind, rain, clouds etc... but sometimes it only goes past some parts of England which means that the jet stream going past them will be more warmer where as the places that the jet stream is going past them, is going to be cold.
