While jet streams are air patterns, the Gulf Stream is an ocean pattern that also has an impact on weather.

It’s been warmer in Alaska than in three dozen other states. If someone asked you, “Where can I go in the United States to ...

As the Arctic rapidly warms, the temperature difference between the polar region and lower latitudes decreases, which weakens ...

So, that's why jet streams are important.” The polar jet stream and polar vortex are two rings of fast-moving air around the Arctic, which play a large role in world weather patterns ...

Simple physics suggests changes to polar vortex and jet-stream patterns are logical responses to the dramatic changes humans have caused to Earth’s natural systems, said Andrew Dessler ...

Understanding the Polar Vortex The polar vortex is like a massive whirlpool of frigid air moving around our planet's poles.

Scientists say a warming planet may have been responsible for a winter storm that dropped 10 inches of snow on Northwest ...

And when that happens, it's time to keep a watchful eye on the movement of the vortex and the jet stream in the troposphere. The polar vortex was in play during the 2021 February freeze ...

Research has found that rising temperatures in the Arctic are weakening weather systems that normally trap the cold around the poles, making winter weather more chaotic.
