In South America, southern Africa, Australia and Oceania, summer weather is heavily influenced by the Southern Hemisphere’s Eddy-Driven Jet (EDJ), a wind belt that flows between 1.3–1.5 kilometres ...

The jet stream, or any wind, is the result of differences in surface temperature. In simple terms, warm air rises, creating low pressure, and cold air sinks, creating high pressure. Wind is the ...

A new study challenges the idea that climate change is behind the erratic wintertime behavior of the polar jet stream, the massive current of Arctic air that regulates weather for much of the Northern ...

Tree-ring data reveal that periodic shifts in strong winds high above the Earth's surface have driven opposite climates in different parts of Europe for the past 700 years and likely much longer, ...
