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.
