Abstract

The article discusses evidence of changes to the atmospheric jet streams and their role in extreme weather patterns. Climate researcher Jennifer Francis argued that a blocking high pressure system and a weak jet stream caused 2012 Hurricane Sandy to track towards New York City. Other topics include effects of the atmospheric ozone hole and Arctic sea ice warming on jet stream dynamics, jet stream speeds used in climate change models, and jet stream impacts on ocean circulation.
