This thread on Twitter by Helen Metcalfe looks into jet streams, atmospheric turbulence, and climate change. It’s not strictly related to maps but there are certainly some interesting maps referenced throughout the discussion.
Today I'd like to talk about jet streams, atmospheric turbulence, and climate change.

Why do we even have jet streams? At any fixed altitude, the north-south temperature difference between equator and pole causes the eastward wind to increase with height (wind shear). pic.twitter.com/xMAmRl49MS
