  • Question
  • Which one of the following statements with regard to Jet stream, an upper level tropospheric wave, is not correct?


  • Options
  • A. It is narrow band of high-velocity wind.
  • B. It follows the wave path near the tropopause at elevations of 8 km to 15 km.
  • C. Jet streams are typically continuous over long distances.
  • D. In summer, the polar front jet achieves its maximum force.

  • Correct Answer
  • It   follows   the   wave   path   near   the tropopause at elevations of 8 km to 15 km. 

    Explanation

    All  are  correct  except  D,  as  Jet streams  are  phenomena  of  winter. It   is   believed   that   jet   stream exercises  an  important  influence on the winter weather in India.
