These jet streams are also influenced by temperature, moisture etc... So it's a fairly complex affair..
Conceptually, it's hard to see how the Gulf Stream western boundary current could be weakened by conditions around Greenland; this is a fluid dynamics system, not a mechanical «belt»; a backup due to less deep water formation should have little effect on the physics of the gyre and the formation of the western boundary current, and it also seems the tropical warming and the resulting equator - to - pole heat transport are the drivers — but perhaps modulation by jet stream meandering is playing some role in the cooling?
Mostly curious whether hurricanes also poke up enough to split the jet stream wind.
More often than not, the expansion of the circum - polar vortex which shifts the jet - stream southward brings colder temps to the mid-latitudes and also results in above normal temps at the higher latitudes.

The northern and southern jet streams, which mark where cold and warm air meet, also seem to be creeping toward the poles.
Francis, who wasn't involved with either study, is one of the main proponents of an idea that by altering how much heat the ocean lets out, sea ice melt and Arctic warming can also change atmospheric circulation patterns, in particular by making the jet stream form larger peaks, or highs, and troughs, or lows.
