Climate as Related to the Jet Stream in the Orient
Abstract: There is fairly convincing evidence that many characteristic features of the climate of East and South Asia result from significant changes in wind systems associated with shifts in jet streams. The highlands of Central Asia play a significant role in these seasonal shifts of jet streams. The fragmentation of the zonal westerly winds during winter, fixing a jet stream of high velocity on the southern flank of the Himalayas, results in important climatic effects. The regenerating and controlling influence of the jet on atmospheric disturbances localizes winter precipitation to northern India- Pakistan and southern China. On the equatorial side of the Himalayan jet, strong downdrafts cause the dry seasons of winter and spring, especially in the subcontinent. The weaker and less locally fixed northern arm of the winter jet, located north of the central highlands, has no such regionalizing effects on winter precipitation as the more fixed southern arm. In the Tibetan lee-side convergen.... https://www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view/1241
