How to monitor the slowing of the polar jet stream caused by climate change
One of the most devastating (and hardest to mitigate) effects of climate change for the Northern Hemisphere is the slowing of ...
Astronomers detect ferocious jet-stream winds on alien planet
In Earth's upper atmosphere, a fast-moving band of air called the jet stream blows with winds of more than 275 miles (442 km) per hour, but they are not the strongest in our solar system. The ...
