Jet stream shift could prompt harsher winters: scientists
A
warmer Arctic could permanently affect the pattern of the high-altitude
polar jet stream, resulting in longer and colder winters over North
America and northern Europe, US scientists say. The jet stream, a ribbon
of high altitude, high-speed wind in northern latitudes that blows from
west to east, is formed when the cold Arctic air clashes with warmer
air from further south. According to Jennifer Francis, a climate expert
at Rutgers University, the Arctic air has warmed in recent years as a
result of melting polar ice caps, meaning there is now less of a
difference in temperatures when it hits air from lower latitudes. "The
jet stream is a very fast moving river of air over our head," she said
Saturday at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science.Read More ...
