One of the main drivers of world’s weather is moving due to climate change. As this ScienCentral News report explains, scientists are finding that the jet stream, that river of air that pushes storms across the country, is moving towards the north and south poles. (ScienCentral Archive)
The jet stream is useful for the prediction of temperature. The jet stream divides colder air to the north from warmer air to the south. The transition between temperatures on each side of the jet is very abrupt. (theweatherprediction.com)

corrente de jato
Dentro dessas bandas de ventos de oeste, zonas localizadas de máxima velocidade podem ser encontradas. Este conjunto é freqüentemente referenciado como Correntes de Jato (ou jet streams). (ICESS - Univ. of Calif. Santa Barbara)
A importância da Corrente de Jato é ressaltada em Browing (1985) que associa alguns casos de precipitação com a Corrente de Jato. (INPE)
As partes mais baroclínicas das zonas frontais são camadas inclinadas denominadas frentes. Acima das zonas frontais, na alta troposfera, estão os jatos ou correntes de jato. Conforme sua localização, podem ser classificados como jatos polares ou jatos subtropicais. (IAG - USP)
