claim: “The Northern Hemisphere jet stream […] flow is stronger when that temperature difference is large.
evidences.evidence_id: Jet stream:125

evidences.evidence: This in turn reduces the temperature gradient that drives jet stream winds, which may eventually cause the jet stream to become weaker and more variable in its course.

evidences.evidence: If two air masses of different temperatures or densities meet, the resulting pressure difference caused by the density difference (which ultimately causes wind) is highest within the transition zone.

evidences.evidence: Therefore, the strong eastward moving jet streams are in part a simple consequence of the fact that the Equator is warmer than the North and South poles.

evidences.evidence: The Westerlies and associated jet stream within the Mid-Latitudes can be particularly strong, especially in the Southern Hemisphere, due to the temperature difference between the tropics and Antarctica, which records the coldest temperature readings on the planet.

evidences.evidence: The strong temperature contrast between polar and tropical air gives rise to the large scale atmospheric circulation cells and the jet stream.
