Definitions

A jet stream is a fast-flowing, narrow air current found in the atmosphere, typically occurring at altitudes of 6 to 12 kilometers (20,000 to 40,000 feet) in the troposphere. Jet streams are primarily caused by the temperature differences between polar and tropical air masses and play a significant role in influencing weather patterns and the movement of storms.
