About — subtropical westerly jet stream
The subtropical westerly jet stream is a fast-moving band of air located in the upper atmosphere, typically between 20-30°N latitude, characterized by strong westerly winds. It plays a crucial role in shaping global weather patterns and influencing the trajectory of mid-latitude storms. For instance, it is responsible for the formation of the Asian monsoon.
