Current Weather Pattern

Could not embed the animation so i will just put the screenshots. Here is the current situation of the jetstream over North America.

Jet streams are one of the most interesting phenomenon seen above the surface of Earth. They are some fast moving air currents that are dictated by the difference of rotation speed on the surface of the Earth, with 0 at poles and max at equator and the difference of temperature between poles and equators. Because of that reason, they can't slow down or disappear as i saw on some sites.

Theoretically they are four, all circling Earth from West to East, but they have many meanders and sometimes are even interrupted because they interact with local weather and oscillate. They have been discovered during WWII when sometimes planes flying west at high altitude with 200 mph appeared stationary.

What is interesting is because they separate the so called weather cells, three for each hemisphere, north of jet stream it cold, south is hot and right under is where precipitations occur when there is enough moisture.

What made me write this blog post. There are two unusual loops on the current animated map on this site that stand out of the whole jetstream pattern that were quite stable during the current heat wave that made me think this could be all artificial. I mean, if they found a way to interfere with the jet stream, by punctually heating areas of the atmosphere or ionosphere with high power microwave beams, using advanced math calculations and supercomputers and steer the jet stream, they could obtain a number of advantages and if needed, some psychological leverage over the population.

On the other hand, here is the satellite animation showing air circulation over the West Coast US at the same time. There is a backward flowing current just south of the jetstream that is not part of a cyclon or that exacerbates the heat. I suspect a combined action of steering of the jet stream and using again the Pacific Intertie to create the backflow bringing hot air from the south of the continent.
