Thermal jet

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009586

A localized, narrow current of air characterized by relatively high temperatures compared to its surroundings. These jets often form in regions of strong differential heating, such as over urban areas or sun-warmed slopes. They can contribute to localized updrafts and influence the development of convective clouds.
