integrated: jet streams #1 (permalink) Fri Jun 18, 2010 15:19 pm   integrated: jet streams
 

In addition, this integrated one from barrons, test 4. Just about grammar and clarity.
Greatest thanks!


Describe jet streams by using the information in the reading, and provide examples on the way that they affect air travel by drawing on the material that you heard in the lecture.

The reading and the lecture discuss jet streams and how they affect air trips. The reading mainly describes this process, whereas the professor explains a problem concerned with these streams.

According to the lecture, jet streams are atmospheric effects, caused by differences between the temperature on the Earth surface and in the atmosphere. These effects usually occur in the top of the troposphere and move from the east to the west. The speed of these winds depends on the season of the year and changes from 60 to 300 miles an hour.

The reading also describes two main jet streams, which are the subtropical and the polar one. Then the speaker talks about the polar jet stream and explains how it changes the time of a flying trip from New York to Los Angeles. When we fly in the same direction as the wind does, it takes less time and fuel, and passengers of an airplane feel less turbulence. However, when we are flying back, the polar jet stream moves to the opposite direction. So our trip becomes longer and less comfortable.

In conclusion, jet streams are some of the atmospheric effects, which affect different fields of our lives. For example, our trips by plane become harder.
