Jet streams -
- Jet streams are bands of strong wind that generally blow from west to east all across the globe.
- They impact weather, air travel and many other things that take place in our atmosphere.
Jet streams found in India -
✿Sub Tropical Jet Stream
- Sub Tropical Jet Streams are best developed in winter and early spring.
- Their maximum speed approaches 300 knots which are associated with the mèrger with polar-front jets.
- A subsidence motion accómpanies subtropical jets and gives rise to predominantly fair weather in areas they pàss over.
- Sometimes they drift northward and merge with a polar-front jet.
✿ Tropical Easterly Jet Stream
- Tropical Easterly Jet Stream occurs near the tropopause over Southeast Asia, India, and Africa during summer.
- This jet implies a deep layer of warm air to the north of the jet and colder air to the south over the Indian Ocean.
- The difference in heating and cooling and the ensuing pressure gradient is what drives this jet.
✿ Polar Night Jet Stream
- Polar-Night Jet Stream meanders through the upper stratosphere over the poles.
- They are present in the convergence zone above the sub polar low pressure belt.
