Trends in the atmospheric jet streams are emerging in observations and could be linked to tropical warming

Abstract Climate models predict a weak poleward shift of the jets in response to continuing climate change. Here we revisit observed jet trends using 40 years of satellite-era reanalysis products and find evidence that general poleward shifts are emerging. The significance of these trends is often l...
