Description: Tells how some hot air balloonists have tried to ride the jet stream around the world, and how the location of the jet stream is used to help predict temperature.

During winter, the jet core is located generally closer to 300 millibars since the air is more cold and dense in the vicinity of the jet stream during the cool season.
