Or why, during the winter of 1978, the East Coast is buried in snow while parts of California lay in a sea of mud? The answer is that space is some what more stable than the earth’s volatile atmosphere that shifts hourly in high speed wind currents. Technology has yet to match the global scope of the raging rivers of air known as the jet streams. Scien tists, in fact, cannot explain why jet streams exist. One key to man’s weather predic tion lies in understanding the jet streams that glide far above the at earth, say two meteorologists Texas A&M University. “We don’t have adequate tech niques to generate a bad 30-day forecast now, much less a good one,” explains Dr. Jim McGuirk. “If we knew where the jet streams were going to run, then we would have a much-improved two-month fore cast. ” There are several jet streams, but the primary one affecting the United States is called the Polar Jet Stream. This one takes a winding course at about 35,000 feet above the earth. At its center the stream is 100 miles wide and 10,000 feet high. As it flows around the globe its wind speeds may exceed 225 mph.

And while ords and maps will give its peri today, it does not help fore® predict anything about its two days from now. “The reason we are interested in the jet stream is because most of the severe weather occurring in the country is related to the jet stream, where it has been and what it is do ing,” explained W.K. Henry, an as sociate meteorology professor. Henry said the position of the jet stream indicates areas where storms could develop. Exact location of the jet stream is very important to fore casting. “We can forecast the weaths a few days,” says McGuirk, over a month we don’t event) predict the weather. Wejusttn forecast a trend.

"Everything depends on where the jet stream shifts,” added McGuirk. “It is not so bad if the jet stream moves and changes position after a few days, but if it stays in one place very long you can have a drought, as in California last year, or a very cold winter on the East Coast.” In the winter of 1977, polar air entering the United States along the jet stream dropped snow from Texas to Florida. McGuirk said that type of winter occurs only about once every 10 or 15 years. Af lad The jet stream is like mis ion’s Henry quipped. It has an theme, but there are many: ip tl iations on a theme.
