Mid-level convection in a warm conveyor belt accelerates the jet stream
<p>Jet streams and potential vorticity (PV) gradients along upper-level ridges, troughs and zonal flows form a waveguide that governs midlatitude dynamics. Warm conveyor belt (WCB) outflows often inject low-PV air into ridges, and the representation of WCBs is seen as a source of uncertainty f...
