Jet streams are key to understanding climate change because they both create weather and drive weather around the globe. Unlike global warming, jet streams are undeniably responsible for both extreme heat waves and extreme cold as well as directly causing droughts and floods.

Jet streams cause severe weather as their intensity increases and cause weather patterns to linger over an area longer than usual. Studies on the period of oscillation of the jet stream were first published by Carl-Gustav Rossby of MIT in the 1940s.
