Description
The jet stream: a mysterious agent behind many extreme weather events. This book explores its role in shaping our climate and weather patterns. From its origins in ancient theories to today's understanding, the jet stream plays a key part in dramatic contrasts between climate zones. The author delves into the basic physics underlying the jet and how this knowledge is used in computer models predicting both tomorrow's weather and future climate trends. By following a weather balloon along the jet stream around the world, we gain insight into its influence on human life and witness startling changes emerging.
