the important features in an idealized jet stream complex and presents cross sections showing the structure of jet streams during selected synoptic situations.The jet stream complex consists of the Arctic Front jet stream, two mid-latitude jet streams, and the Subtropical jet stream. The two mid-latitude jet streams, when existing individually, may be identified as the Interpolar Front and Polar Front jet streams, respectively, but when combined are simply termed the Polar Front jet stream. In various synoptic situations this complex is expanded to a state in which each jet stream is a completely distinct entity, or it may be telescoped to such a degree that all jet streams are merged in one broad belt of high speed winds. Synoptic examples are given for four well-defined types of jet stream complex: (1) Arctic, Polar and Subtropical jet streams distinctly separated; (2) separate mid-latitude jet streams (Interpolar and Polar jet streams) and the Subtropical jet stream; (3) mid-latitude westerly jet stream field over a well-developed ridge; (4) combining of the mid-latitude westerly jet stream and the Subtropical jet stream. Descriptions of the air masses, lapse rates, tropopauses and wind profiles in the jet stream complex are given.

Mention the characteristics of jet stream

Explanation:

  • The jet stream is fast and narrow moving and air current and on a certain place, the jet stream is associated with the altitude of the troposphere and are westerly winds.
  • They are found strongest at the poles at an altitude of the 9 to 12 km above the means sea levels and the subtropical jets are found at an altitude of the 10 to 16 km and in the south, the jet streams are found through the antarctic continent.
  • The moves from the west the east and type typically follow a meandering path and are heating by the atmosphere is heating and a large scale action of the Coriolis force. And they are found at the altitude of the 30  and the 60 degrees.
