🌀 Jet Stream Globe Lab: Thermal Wind, Rossby Meanders and Flight Times
Watch two glowing jet streams wrap a globe: a temperature contrast sets the jet speed through thermal wind balance, Rossby waves make it meander or stall, and an airliner shows how a jet changes eastbound and westbound flight times. Live graphs, presets and four independent numerical checks.
