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)

What layer of the atmosphere has strong steady winds?

The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains the strong and steady winds known as the jet stream. This wind flow occurs at upper levels of the troposphere and lower levels of the stratosphere, with speeds reaching up to 200 mph.


The upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere.?

Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\


What is the strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core also the layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere?

The strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core is called the lower mantle. The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere is called the mesosphere.


Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?

Yes, the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere. This is because the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone in the upper stratosphere creates a temperature inversion, where the temperature increases with altitude.


Where is wind strongest?

in the stratosphere

Is the upper stratosphere colder then the lower stratosphere?

Yes, the upper stratosphere is colder than the lower stratosphere. This is because the stratosphere is heated from below by the Earth's surface, so as you move higher in the atmosphere, the temperature decreases. The temperature inversion between the lower and upper stratosphere is due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone in the upper stratosphere.


Do jet stream occur in the mesosphere?

No. The jet stream is in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.


Is the upper stratosphere colder than the lower stratosphere?

Yes, the upper stratosphere is generally colder than the lower stratosphere. This is because the stratosphere's temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone in the lower stratosphere. However, the temperature starts to decrease again in the upper stratosphere due to the cooling effect of gases like ozone and molecular oxygen.


Is the stratosphere?

The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere (where we live). The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere is the lowest layer where temperature increases with increasing altitude.
