Abstract: The jet stream features described in the preceding chapter and the latitude and altitude at which we observe the core not only vary rapidly with the synoptic situation but, in addition, change gradually with the season. As is evident from fig. 3.1, the accumulative effect of this seasonal change is large. This figure contains isotachs of the mean monthly geostrophic west wind distribution for January and July at the level of strongest wind, obtained from cross-sections constructed with the aid of normal monthly pressure maps for the northern hemisphere [52].
