Summary

Description
English: Jets associated with explosively developing extratropical cyclones throughout their evolution; the jets depicted do not exist as depicted simultaneously.
Original caption
"Schematic of low-level jets in explosively developing extratropical cyclones. This is a composite of the jets from multiple times in the storm. Strong winds associated with the warm conveyor belt (WCB) form during storm development and those associated with the cold conveyor belt (CCB) strengthen as the storm matures. Sting jets (SJs), if forming, contribute to strongest winds during transition from WCB jet dominance to CCB jet dominance. The WCB is in the warm sector of the cyclone and has substantially warmer winds than the CCB, which is in the cool sector. The sting jet descends into the frontal fracture region where temperatures are slightly warmer than the CCB. Approximate direction of storm propagation is shown by the gray arrow."
