A Jet Stream Runs Through It
High above the Earth's surface, rivers of air rush their way around the globe in a high speed current that often spawns side eddies that we on the ground call cyclones. Knowledge of the position of these streams, known as the <i>jet stream</i> because of their speed, is vital to accurate general weather forecasts and severe storm predictions. Knowledge of the location of the jet stream is also important to airlines and other long-distant air transportation.
