  • What is the jet stream, where is it located and how does it affect our weather? Wet or dry summers are all to do with the positioning of the jet stream. In this video, we look in detail at the Polar Front Jet, which strongly influences the weather over the UK and Europe.

    3:00 the stronger the temperature gradient, the stronger the jet; jet is stronger in the winter than in the summer as the poles cool, increasing temperature contrast
    3:15 jet further from pole winter, closer to pole in summer
    3:50 wet summers in the UK if jet stream remains to the south of the UK

      @creatureofhabit7049 Před 5 lety +17

      Both columns, being of different densities, have different(higher for cold one) rates of decrease in pressure as we go up. At the surface cold one has a higher pressure than hot one but as we start to climb the cold column's pressure decreases faster than the hot one and a time will come when cold column's pressure becomes less than that of hot one. Also you can see it this way - both columns have the same pressure at tropopause but at different heights! Lets say cold one has tropopause at height 8 km and hot one at 10 km. When we climb 8km in both columns we would see cold column has reached tropopause pressure but hot one has to lower it's pressure for 2 more kms to match that of what cold column currently has, at 8 km.

    • @asmany405
      @asmany405 Před 4 lety

      You forgot that the pressure *decreases* as we move upward. So at the same height there will be low pressure for cold air and a higher pressure for warm air

    A very good audio visual tool, explaining how the whole system works. The voiceover lets it down. Badly read, flat delivery. Better inflexion and more enthusiasm needed. I would also recommend that the soundtrack be removed; it's just distracting from the delivery as a whole. We need more clips on these topics, with the improvements suggested above.

Maybe all the planets started like earth and ended up a mess and inhabitable over time. Maybe all of the elements have gone into space and accumulated into what we call the planets?

    The Jet Streams exist because the Coriolis Effect formula is:
    Acceleration (West--->East) = f (Velocity Equator--->Pole, Latitude)
    and that has "Velocity" on the right but it has "Acceleration" on the left, which makes it highly-geometrically increasing.

    After this brilliant explanation, I would be happy to understand what climate change has to do with jet streams. After all, every cold wave or heat wave caused by a particular stream pattern is assigned to climate change. Is it true that the wiggles are larger now than 20 years ago? I remember flights across atlantic, where pilots used the jet stream to save fuel. These were almost straight lines 20 years ago!

    • @kv3858
      @kv3858 Před 5 lety

      A warmer arctic temperature causes wild swings in jet streams. These swings push the jet streams further south, which actually results in colder winters in areas like the US. That's why I laughed when the conservatives where claiming how global warming can be real when it's so cold outside. Because of the greenhouse effect, the summers will melt the colder winters, and flooding will start to become more natural around the world. Sadly this is already happening.

    • @maxtabmann6701
      @maxtabmann6701 Před 5 lety

      @@kv3858 Makes sense - partly. But the large swings in the jet streams also increase the thermal exchange between north and south, thus reducing the temp gradient. So its a chicken and egg question. You say, global warming comes first. Thats exactly why I would favour to study the transition period instead of making assumptions.

      ​@@ishan_r I think one of the assumption isn't made clear, that is not just two columns share no pressure difference at tropopause, the ground surface pressure are at the same level. We could just say that the pressure level at the tropopause is 30 and the ground air pressure are both 60 for both.The total change/decrease of pressure from bottom to troposphere is the same.For cold air column, from bottom to top, the air pressure just decreases faster, more rapidly than the warm one.
