Definition from
National Weather Service Upton, NY:
Relatively strong winds that are concentrated in a narrow band in the atmosphere. Jet Streams are usually thousands of kilometers long, hundreds of kilometers wide but only a few kilometers thick. They are usually found between 6 and 10 miles above the surface.
Example sentences:
This page displays the current location of the Atlantic jet stream and also the forecast position and intensity over the next seven days. (metcheck)
One of the main drivers of world’s weather is moving due to climate change. As this ScienCentral News report explains, scientists are finding that the jet stream, that river of air that pushes storms across the country, is moving towards the north and south poles. (ScienCentral Archive)
The jet stream is useful for the prediction of temperature. The jet stream divides colder air to the north from warmer air to the south. The transition between temperatures on each side of the jet is very abrupt. (theweatherprediction.com)

jetstrøm
Definition from
Wapedia:
Jetstrømmen er en kraftig (østgående) vind, som ofte blåser i 6-15 kilometers høyde. Jetstrømmen kan f.eks. være 100-200 km bred og noen få kilometer høy.
Example sentences:
jetstrøm, i meteor. bet. på et sterkt konsentrert vindfelt, som oftest i den øvre troposfære nær tropopausen. Vanligvis er det på hver halvkule to j. fra vest mot øst: en over subtropene som til enhver årstid er ganske konstant, og en i forb. med polarfronten, og som varierer langt mer. I tillegg til disse er det noen mer sporadiske j. i stratosfæren (Caplex)
