What convection cell in the atmosphere connects the polar jet stream and the subtropical jet stream?
Ferrel
What else can I help you with?
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.
A meander generally characterizes which type of stream steep stream a young stream a narrow stream or a mature stream?
A mature stream.
What is the name of a natural current in the atmosphere?
I wasn't at that particular lecture, but my first guesses are "wind" in general, "jet stream" being one particular current. More specifically, there are polar and subtropical jet streams, as well as polar night jets, barrier jets, valley exit jets, the African easterly jet, and I will be interested to learn if more are being discovered and whether all of them are permanent or if they will all become something else.
What happens when the speed of a stream increases?
Things that would cause a stream to move faster would be how large the stream is, how much material is in the stream and how much of a slope the stream is at. Things blocking the stream would also cause it to move slower.
How does advection differ from convection?
Atmospheric and oceanographic sciences generally differentiate between vertical convection and horizontal advection. These disciplines study the atmosphere and the oceans which are both much wider in the horizontal than they are thick in the vertical. Making the distinction between horizontal (i.e. isopycnal, along surfaces of constant density) and vertical (i.e. diapycnal, through density surfaces) therefore makes sense for meteorologists and oceanographers. In fluid mechanics on the other hand the terminology is often used interchangeably. Their study environment is frequently a tank in a laboratory and therefore is more of a cube compared to the thin oceanic layer on the Earth. In fluid mechanics, advection and convection is the same.
What convection cell in atmosphere connects the polar jet stream and the subtropical jet stream?
ferrel
What convectional cell in the atmosphere connects the polar jet stream and the subtropical jet stream?

What convection cell in the atmosphere connect polar jet stream and subtropic jet stream?
ferrel
What statement is true of jet streams A. The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and polar easterlies. B. The subtropical jet stream flows to the east while the polar jet stream flows?
A. The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and polar easterlies; this statement is true. B. The polar jet stream typically flows to the east, while the subtropical jet stream flows towards the west.
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 true about jets streams?
The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream. The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and trade winds.
What is true about a jets stream?
The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream
Which is the high pressure band of air blowing from west to east?
The high pressure band of air blowing from west to east is known as the subtropical jet stream. It is located at high altitudes in the atmosphere and affects weather patterns in the mid-latitudes. The subtropical jet stream is stronger in the winter and weaker in the summer.
Does the intertropical convergence lies along the subtropical jet stream?
The subtropical jet lies just poleward of the ITCZ.
which is true of jet streams?
The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream
How is the jet streem related to convection?
The jet stream is a narrow band of strong winds in the upper atmosphere that is driven by the temperature difference between air masses. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluid (in this case, air). The jet stream is influenced by the temperature contrasts created by convection, particularly between the polar and tropical air masses.
What winds control the jet stream?
Wind doesn't control the jet stream; this is controlled by something much more complex. It has to do with the mass balance of the atmosphere, vertically propagating waves, and the earth's rotation.
