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.
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.
A meander generally characterizes which type of stream steep stream a young stream a narrow stream or a mature stream?
A mature stream.
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 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?
The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and trade winds.
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.
Which is stronger polar jet stream or subtropical jet stream?
Polar jet stream is stronger.
What is convection used for?
Convection is a form of heat transfer. Convection is seen through the atmosphere and weather. It is also used in some appliances, such as convection ovens.
What is true about a jets stream?
The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream
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
What is the weather in the continental states most affected by?
Subtropical jet stream.
Do the Horse Latitudes lie along the subtropical jet stream?
yes
