Jet Streams
You may want to consider looking at the high level prog charts to get an idea of the jet streams' (there can be more than one) location and speed. Check the link below. http://aviationweather.gov/products/swh/
jet streams
Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow, meandering air currents in the atmospheres of some planets, including Earth. On Earth, the main jet streams are located near the altitude of the tropopause and are westerly winds (flowing west to east).
you mean jet streams...or thermals?
Jet streams~ Rebecca
There are 2 jet streams in the northern hemisphere and 2 in the southern hemisphere. They are known as the subtropical jet stream and the polar jet streams subsequently for get side.
jet streams
The Polar Jet Stream and the Subtropical Jet Stream are the two strongest jet streams in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere has two major jet streams like the Northern Hemisphere.
Jet Streams are fast blowing winds above the troposphere. The blow at speeds of upto 120kmph. When two jet streams collide it causes storms.
The major jet streams on Earth are westerly winds that flow west to east.

Jet Streams
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).
Think about it this way. If it was flat then jet streams would be straight. But the Earth is round so jet streams are curved because of the curvature of the Earth.
