J/kg - joules
per kilogram (units of CAPE and
CIN)
Jet Max (or Speed Max,
Jet Streak) - a point
or area of relative maximum
wind speeds within a jet stream
Jet Streak - a concentrated region
within the jet stream where
wind speeds are strongest. It sets
up wind currents in its vicinity that either enhance or diminish
the chance of clouds and
precipitation (rising or sinking
motion, respectively).
Jet Stream (JSTR) -
relatively strong winds concentrated within
a narrow current in the atmosphere,
normally referring to horizontal, high-altitude winds
JSTR - see Jet
Stream
Joule (J) - the derived unit of
energy or work
equal to 1 Newton-meter. Named for James Prescott Joule (1818-1889),
