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

Definition from own experience or research:
Angin yang cukup kencang yang memusat dalam jalur sempit di atmosfer. Arus jet biasanya memiliki panjang ribuan kilometer dan lebar ratusan kilometer, namun hanya memiliki tebal beberapa kilometer. Arus tersebut biasanya ditemukan antara enam hingga sepuluh kilometer di atas muka tanah. National Weather Service Upton, NY

Example sentence(s):
  • Jet stream adalah fenomena menarik sebab hembusan angin berkekuatan 100 km/jam ini baru bisa terjadi pada kondisi cuaca ekstrem. Salah satunya perbedaan tekanan udara yang sangat ekstrem antara daerah bertekanan udara tinggi dengan daerah bertekanan rendah. - Bisnis Indonesia-Iptek  
  • Tim tersebut, dipimpin Moustafa Chahine dari Jet Propulsion Laboratory NASA, menemukan penyebaran karbondioksida di tengah-tengah lapisan troposphere yang secara kuat dipengaruhi oleh permukaan inti sumber karbondioksida dan pola sirkulasi atmosfir dalam skala besar, seperti arus jet dan sistem iklim di tengah garis lintang bumi. - indonesiaontime
