A multi-century climate record suggests that current Atlantic jet-stream variations are not the cause of an increase in extreme weather events. Read the paper: Past hydroclimate extremes in Europe ...

The jet stream — a band of strong winds high above Earth’s surface — can shift and create opposing summertime climate conditions in northwest and southeast Europe. Tree-ring data reveal that the jet ...

Scientists say a closely watched atmospheric pattern — the jet stream — is behind both the Canadian wildfires and the scorching heat in Texas, raising questions about how it shapes extreme weather ...

The North Atlantic jet stream, a fast-moving air current circling the Northern Hemisphere, may migrate northward in the coming decades if strong global warming continues. The consequences could be ...
