A particularly
strong jet stream churns through Saturn's northern hemisphere in this false - color view from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
There are a few reasons why this blizzard will be so huge in D.C. First, a record - breaking El Niño in the tropical Pacific Ocean is creating an
abnormally strong jet stream, from which this storm will transfer the bulk of its energy.
Finally, the Red Spot sits between two
strong jet streams that flow in opposite directions and may slow down its spinning.
If
a strong jet stream is present, with high winds near the top of the troposphere, there will be vertical wind speed shear.
However, when these temperature gradients decrease in just the right way, a weakened «double peak» jet stream arises with
the strongest jet stream winds located to the north and south of the mid-latitudes.
A strong jet stream has already turned up across the southern tier of the country, bringing bouts of rain to many southern states during October and November.
«This is important for understanding the nature and possible mechanisms driving
these strong jet streams,» Kaspi said.
Here,
a strong jet stream moves across Saturn's northern hemisphere.
A new record for the fastest transatlantic flight in a subsonic aircraft has been set after a Norwegian Dreamliner rode
a strong jet stream from New York Airbus announced the biggest commercial - plane deal in its history, securing an order valued at nearly $ 50bn (# 37bn) for 430 planes from its single - aisle
That's why we anticipate
a stronger jet stream and more storms in the UK during winter time.
According to the UK Met Office, the clustering and persistence of the storms that swept in from the Atlantic was highly unusual, carried in on an exceptionally fast and
strong jet stream.
These have then been steered across Britain by
a strong jet stream.»
