Jet Stream & Polar Vortex Youve heard about the Polar Vortex a lot over the past month, and Im sure youve heard forecasters talk about the jet stream before. Well, you might find this kinda cool... This is a visual representation of the winds in the upper atmosphere, or 500mb level. This is were the jet stream exists. This cool product allows you to see the jet stream. The jet stream is where the winds tighten together and are fastest (reds & pinks on this map). Can you see the jet stream across North America? And to really test your skills, can you see the Polar Vortex? Hint: Its near the jet stream, and the winds around it flow counter clockwise. earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/500hPa/orthographic=-100.15,40.72,444
