Short summary
The jet stream is a band of strong westerly winds, within which jet streaks are regions of faster wind speeds that can aid storm development. This study analyses jet streaks over the North Atlantic during winter. Jet streaks are linked to pairs of surface anticyclones and cyclones and are often accompanied by intense precipitation, especially extreme jet streaks. With cloud processes playing an increased role in extreme jet streaks, follow-up studies concerning their role are warranted.
