Exercise 7 - Jet stream
 
Choose one of the weather maps below. They are of 00.00 UTC.

Describe the direction of the jet stream in Europe from 15 to 20 March 2000.

What influence will that have on the weather on 16 March 2000?


The jet stream maps have been put together to produce a time-lapse animation that shows the development of weather systems.

Run the animation and observe the changes in the direction of the jet stream.

In which direction was the jet stream going on 16 March 2000?

What impact did this have on the Foehn situation on 16 March 2000?
