Artist's Comments
The location of the jet stream is extremely important for airlines. In the United States and Canada, for example, the time needed to fly east across the continent can be decreased by about 30 minutes if an airplane can fly with the jet stream, or increased by more than that amount if it must fly west against it. On longer intercontinental flights, the difference is even greater, it is faster and cheaper (by flying the pressure pattern) or flying eastbound along with the jet stream and flying around the jet stream going west bound, than taking the shorter great circle route between two points.
Meteorologists now understand that the path of the jet stream steers cyclonic storm systems at lower levels in the atmosphere, and so knowledge of their course has become an important part of weather forecasting. In 2007, Britain experienced severe flooding as a result of the polar jet staying south for the summer. Thanks |
