How does the jet stream affect the weather of a particular area?
The various jet streams steer the weather (they push the fronts), as they move they can cause large changes in local weather (block rain or cause rain ... make it cold or hot).
What high altitude winds that occur in places where trade winds and polar easterlies meet prevailing westerlies?
The "Jet Stream".
Why do jet streams flow parallel to isobars?
Because jet streams are above the friction layer, they have a negligible effect. The wind is balanced by the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient so that the winds flow parallel to isobars.
What is forced convection?
Convection caused by frontal or orographic lifting, or converging surface winds.
What is an artificial jet of water called?
A jet of water is the normal name for a high speed stream of water following a ballistic trajectory through the air. Non ballistic trajectories are also possible due to air drag, which also causes the spray effect from the outer surfaces of the jet.
What types of air masses do jet streams separate?
It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
What do you call huge masses of rapidly moving air miles above the earth's surface?
I call huge masses of rapidly moving air miles above the Earth's surface the Jet Streams.
How do jet streams affect our weather?
It makes the air move faster or quicker
What does the jet stream do to the air?
Jet streams give off chemicals that penetrate the air and trickle down to where we breathe. Streams also affect the weather because of the jets high speed, potentially causing storms and tornadoes if two jet streams intersect.
What is the area called where jet streams are found where cold and warm air meet?
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).
What are high altitude high velocity of air called?
jet streams
Jet streams are associated with fronts because of the?
Jet streams are associated with fronts because they form along the boundaries between air masses with different temperatures and densities. The strong gradient in temperature and pressure across fronts can create intense winds aloft, which contribute to the formation and intensification of jet streams. This interaction helps to generate the fast-moving, narrow bands of air known as jet streams.
What is true about the jet streams?
Jet streams are narrow bands of high-altitude, fast-flowing air within the atmosphere. They are caused by the temperature contrast between air masses and play a key role in influencing weather patterns. Jet streams can reach speeds of over 100 mph and are strongest in the winter months.
How do jet streams and ocean currents affect local weather?
As air and water currents move from one area to another, they affect the general climate of the area they are moving into.Water currents have the ability to cool and warm the air, while air currents push air from one climate to another, bringing heat (or cold) and moisture with it.
What are the major types of air masses in North America and how do they move?
There are 4 types of air masses in North America: maritime tropical, maritime polar, continental tropical, and continental polar. In the continental United States, air masses are moved by the prevailing westerlies and the jet streams.
What are Jet streams and how they affect climate?
The two jet streams that directly affect our weather in the continental US are the polar jet and the subtropical jet. They are responsible for transporting the weather systems that affect us. The polar front is the boundary between the cold North Pole air and the warm equatorial air.....................................this answer is given by sakshi
How does polar jet streams affect temperature and precipitation in North America?
Polar jet streams can bring cold air from the Arctic region into North America, causing temperature drops. They also bring storm systems to the region, resulting in increased precipitation, particularly in areas under the jet stream's path. The interaction between the jet stream and other air masses can lead to weather patterns that influence temperature and precipitation across North America.
