Jet Stream

Explanation:

Jet streams are the winds that flow in the upper levels of the atmosphere. These are relatively narrow bands of strong wind. These high-speed winds blow from west to east in jet streams. Sometimes, the flow of wind shifts from north to south. Jet streams follow the boundaries between hot and cold air.
