Features of the Caribbean low level jet.

This article presents a study regarding the Caribbean Low Level Jet. It discusses that the Caribbean Low Level Jet is shown to be a real and dominant climatological feature of the early summer Caribbean climate, which manifests as an intensification in the trade winds in the western Caribbean basin. The study reveals the variability in the strength and zonal extent of the Caribbean Low Level Jet which can be related to zonal sea surface temperature gradients between the eastern equatorial Pacific and the north tropical and equatorial Atlantic.
