The outside air temperature at 39,000 feet (a common altitude for jet airliners to fly) is about 45 degrees below zero.
The described phenomenon is known as the jet stream. It is a high-speed air current with a narrow band of strong winds that flows in the upper troposphere, separating warm air masses from cold air masses. Jet streams play a significant role in weather patterns and aviation.
A jet stream has been known to draw in cold artic air within North America. This is a common occurrence during winter months when the jet stream dips down into the central portion of the United States.yes
The temperature difference between the cold polar regions and the warmer lower latitudes increases in the winter, intensifying the pressure gradient and causing the jet stream to move faster. Additionally, shorter days and longer nights in the winter result in a more pronounced temperature gradient, further accelerating the jet stream.
Jet streams are generally located near the tropopause, the layer between the troposphere (where temperatures decrease with altitude) and the stratosphere (where temperatures increase with altitude).
The weatherman said that the latest jet stream would bring more cold air to the region on Friday. The jet flew over Wichita, leaving a trail of jet stream behind it.
Yes. The jet stream roughly marks where cold arctic air meets warmer tropical air. If the jet stream over North America dips unusually far south, arctic air will travel south as well and bring unusually cold weather.
The jet stream travels between hot and cold air.
Polar Jet Stream.
The jet stream
It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
The tempurate differences creates the jet stream. Wind is caused by the uneven heating of earth's surface and the differences of air pressure. Cold polar air creates low air pressure and a cold surface which creates wind.
I understand that Jet Trails form when the hot exhaust from the jet turbine engines get in contact with the cold air found in altitudes of 20,000 ft. and above. It is the same principle as when the warmer air from human breath get in contatc with the ambient air on a cold winter day. I hope this helps you in any way to undersatnd the jet trail formation.
There are several factors which ensure that jet streams are formed between warm and cold air. Usually more widespread during the winter months jetstreams are formed due to a border between the hot and cold air when then meet together.
The polar jet stream is primarily responsible for bringing cold Arctic air to the US. This fast-moving ribbon of air flows from west to east in the upper atmosphere, transporting cold air from the north and south. When the jet stream dips southward, it allows cold Arctic air masses to move into the US and bring freezing temperatures.
