Jet Streams Getting Stuck: Weather Gone Nuts, Crappy Weather

Why Jet Streams Get Stuck and Weather Goes Nuts: 1 of 2 // Dec 18, 2018

From top-down, big-picture thinking on the climate system, it is clear that when Arctic temperatures increase much faster than lower latitude temperatures, the jet streams must slow down and become wavier; in fact I have discussed this since 2010.

Peer-reviewed science is finally catching up. In this and the next video, I chat on:

  • Jet streams (planetary waves; Rossby waves) getting stuck in place, with:
  • Large ridges and troughs,
  • Causing extreme weather events via Quasi-Resonant Amplification.

Google Scholar, ‘Jet-Streams’ sorted by date/relevance, link here (2), and

And from Michael Mann’s website, Research:  ‘Mann, M.E., Rahmstorf … Projected changes in persistent extreme summer weather events: The role of quasi-resonant amplification, Science Advances’–link to MannEtAlScienceAdvances18 (3).
