Yes, there is a jet stream in the Southern Hemisphere, similar to the northern hemisphere.

What is the difference between a continental jet stream and a polar jet stream?

A continental jet-stream travels parallel to the equator - a polar jet-stream travels in a north/south direction.


What are the two jet streams in the Southern Hemisphere?

The two jet streams in the Southern Hemisphere are the Subtropical Jet Stream and the Polar Jet Stream. The Subtropical Jet Stream is located closer to the equator and the Polar Jet Stream is found closer to the South Pole. These high-altitude, fast-flowing air currents play a significant role in influencing weather patterns in the Southern Hemisphere.


Is the jet stream caused by earth's rotation?

Partially. The pressure difference between warm air near equator and cold air near arctic causes air to rise at equator travel north to arctic then down and south back to equator. The rotation of the earth bends that north-south belt - faster at the equator than at the slower rotation at arctic. The result of both is the jet stream.


What do you call the wind belt around the equator?

The jet stream.


What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?

The jet stream


What accompanies a cold spell in Minnesota?

Minnesota receives arctic air when the polar jet stream moves south across Canada.


During which months is the jet stream located closest to the equator?

The jet stream is typically located closest to the equator during the winter months of December through February in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, it tends to be closer to the equator during June through August. Seasonal shifts in temperature and atmospheric pressure largely influence the position of the jet stream.

What is the belt of light and variable winds that are near the equator commonly called?

jet stream


Why does the jet stream move fater in the winter?

The jet stream moves faster in winter primarily due to the larger temperature differences between the polar regions and the equator. During winter, the polar air masses become much colder, while the warmer air from the south remains relatively stable. This steep temperature gradient enhances the wind speeds of the jet stream, causing it to flow more rapidly. Additionally, the winter months lead to a more pronounced and stable jet stream pattern, contributing to its increased speed.


In the Northern Hemisphere the jet stream brings cold weather conditions from the north and the jet stream brings warm weather conditions from the south.?

polar; subtropical


Do the Horse Latitudes lie along the subtropical jet stream?

No, the Horse Latitudes are regions of high atmospheric pressure that lie around 30 degrees north and south of the equator. The subtropical jet stream is a fast-moving, high-altitude wind belt that is located further north, around 30-40 degrees latitude.
