    set height to 250 hPa for about jet-stream altitude. It’s more wx oriented with lines of equal pressure and represents about 24 hour forcast. played with it for years and still cool

      The jet stream is cool, but also cool is the vortex around Hudson Bay. You can see it at almost every altitude almost up into space.

      At low altitudes it looks like all the air in North America is being redirected in a stream off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.

        not sure who is behind this, never looked too hard, but surprised it hasn’t been pay-walled so far. good mapping tool
