Jet streams are often referred to as the "motor" of global weather: High-altitude wind currents steer areas of high and low pressure, playing a crucial role in shaping our weather. However, how these ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly every type of wild weather hit some part of the United States on Monday as the normal changing seasons clash of cold and warm air collided with a jet stream gone crazy and a ...

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 ...

A new study led by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) reveals that large-scale atmospheric circulation changes may partly offset ...

Dartmouth researchers used machine learning and long-term climate records to construct a timeline of jet-stream variability since 1901. Nearly all prior studies of the jet stream focus on the period ...
