How jet stream changes are affecting our weather | Planet Wonder Ep. 7

In Episode 7 of the CBC Explore series Planet Wonder, meteorologist Johanna Wagastaffe discusses how jet streams — bands of fast-moving air high up in the atmosphere — carry weather systems across the globe and how they're affected by climate change. She explores Pitt River in Pitt Meadows with atmospheric scientist Rachel White and explains how changing jet streams and extreme weather are connected.

In this CBC Explore series, Johanna Wagstaffe introduces us to the smart people seeking solutions to climate change, connecting different perspectives while travelling through forests, across oceans, up mountains and into laboratories.

Planet earth struggling to find new equilibrium as the climate warms...nicely explained. Love all versions of Wagstaffe, age 4, the pilot, the Mom, and the meteorologist!

More moisture in the air also means more snow fall. Lots more.

Okay, I'm going to make a video that lasts less than half an hour. It's production will consume vast quantities of fossil fuel as i blather on about things that i don't really understand and jump from one place another. Then im going to warn you not to do what i do.

so does that mean the jet stream is affected by the tides like Pitt River?
