Powerful winds charged with metals have been detected in a global jet stream on WASP-121b, where it rains molten iron. Scientists have created the first 3D atmospheric map of the dystopian ...

Jet streams are often referred to as the "motor" of global weather: High-altitude wind currents steer areas of high and low pressure, playing a crucial role in shaping our weather. However, how these ...

"The jet stream seemed like a direct link between global climate change and extreme weather with big storms, but we didn't really know what happened before 1979," he says.

Much research has focused on how the jet stream is affected as a result of global warming. "It's hard to do that if you only have 60 years' worth of data, which is why a reconstruction going back ...

A faster jet stream could contribute to more extreme weather like hail, tornadoes and flash floods. And even downslope high wind events like the one that led to Marshall Fire in December 2021.
