The characteristics and physical structure of the jet stream are described. The relationship of the jet stream to the general circulation in the atmosphere is illustrated by considering, first, the low level wind flow over the northern hemisphere and then the high level flow pattern over 10,000 ft.. The seasonal change in position of jet streams and typical thermal and wind velocity crosssections are discussed. High altitude clear air turbulence is found to be associated with the periphery of the jet stream. The utilization of the jetstream as a windaid in civil airline operations is discussed with reference to PanAmerican flights across the Atlantic and the Pacific.
