Jet streams, artwork
Jet streams. Computer artwork showing the paths of the jet streams around the globe. Jet streams are fast flowing high-altitude narrow air currents that circle the Earth. The major ones on Earth are the polar jet stream (7-12 km altitude, blue) and the subtropical jet stream (10-16 km altitude, red), which occur in both hemispheres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning artwork captures the intricate paths of jet streams encircling our planet. The mesmerizing print showcases the two major types of jet streams, each distinguished by its altitude and color. The polar jet stream, depicted in a striking blue hue, resides at an elevation of 7-12 kilometers above sea level. Meanwhile, the subtropical jet stream is represented by a vibrant red shade and can be found higher up in the atmosphere, between 10-16 kilometers. These fast-flowing narrow air currents play a crucial role in shaping our climate and weather systems. As they traverse both hemispheres, they influence wind patterns and atmospheric conditions across vast regions. This computer-generated illustration provides us with a visual representation of their complex trajectories against a pristine white background. The artwork serves as a reminder of Earth's dynamic geography and climatology. It highlights how these atmospheric phenomena impact our daily lives by affecting global weather patterns and contributing to meteorological events such as storms or droughts. With meticulous attention to detail, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of earth science and observation. Whether you are captivated by climatology or simply intrigued by nature's wonders, this artwork invites you to explore the intricate web woven by these powerful jet streams that shape our planet's climate system.
