English term or phrase: jet stream
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 sentence(s):
  • 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

Example sentence(s):
  • ジェット気流(ジェットきりゅう)とは対流圏上層に位置する強い偏西風の流れ。 極を中心に特に上空8~13kmに強く吹く。北緯40度程度に観測される寒帯ジェット気流と北緯30度程度の亜熱帯ジェット気流などがある。長さ数千km、厚さ数km、幅100km程度で、風速は30m/sぐらいで中には450m/s近くに達するものもある。 西から東へ向かう航空機は、ジェット気流に乗ることで燃料と所要時間を大幅に圧縮することができる。 - Wikipedia の〔ジェット気流」の
