When the jet stream got loopy In order to track the jet stream's behavior thousands of years ago, Bowen and his fellow researchers looked at oxygen isotope ratios from lake cores and cave formations in the eastern and western United States.

When the researchers analyzed the oxygen isotope ratios over the past 8,000 years, they found that the jet stream became wavier — with colder Eastern winter weather and warmer Western winter weather — on about a 4,000 - year cycle.

A large kink in the jet stream, a high - pressure blocking pattern over Greenland and a mass of Arctic air pushing southward over North America's middle latitudes each contributed to Sandy's unusual strength.

Some researchers have suggested that climate change, which has resulted in a rapidly warming Arctic, is leading to jet stream kinks that keep extreme weather in place, although that hypothesis is still being debated (ClimateWire, April 3).

Last year, the jet stream steered storms farther east along the Northeast coast, hammering the Interstate 95 corridor.

This is why climate change, which is warming up the Arctic and changing the temperature gradient, may keep the jet stream wavy.
