  "term": "Subtropical jet stream",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A fast-flowing, narrow current of air located in the upper troposphere, typically found at altitudes of 10-14 km and latitudes between 20 and 40 degrees. This jet stream forms due to the conservation of angular momentum as air moves poleward from the tropics and is a key component of the global atmospheric circulation. It influences the movement of weather systems and can cause clear-air turbulence.",
