The upper air circulation in this region is dominated by a westerly flow. An important component of this flow is the jet stream. These jet streams are located approximately over 27°-30° north latitude, therefore, they are known as subtropical westerly jet streams.

Jet streams are currents of air high above the Earth. They move eastward at altitudes of about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles). They form where large temperature differences exist in the atmosphere.Jet streams are some of the strongest winds in the atmosphere. Their speeds usually range from 129 to 225 kilometers per hour (80 to 140 miles per hour), but they can reach more than 443 kilometers per hour (275 miles per hour). They are faster in winter when the temperature differences between tropical, temperate, and polar air currents are greater. At most times in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, there are two jet streams: a subtropical jet stream centered at about 30 degrees latitude and a polar-front jet stream whose position varies with the boundary between polar and temperate air. A reverse jet stream blows toward the west in tropical high altitudes during the Northern Hemispheres summer. It is associated with the heating of the Asian continent and may help bring summer monsoons to the Indian Ocean. read less

Jet streams are a narrow belt of high altitude (above 12000 m) westerly winds in the troposphere. Their speed varies from about 110 km/have in summer to about 184 km/have in winter. A number of separate jet streams have been identified. The most constant are the mid-latitude and the sub tropical jet...

Jet streams follow the boundaries between warm and cold air. Jet streams are located near the altitude of the and are westerly winds. The strongest jet streams are known as Polar jets. Jet streams are the product of two factors; the atmospheric heating by solar radiation and the force caused by the planet's rotation on its axis. read less
