A synoptic and dynamic investigation of the jet stream reveals that in a transverse profile the maximum wind tends to lie along a pseudo-parabolic rather than a horizontal surface. The upwardfacing parabola is identified by a band of warm temperatures on the cyclonic side of the jet core and a band of cold temperatures on the anticyclonic side. The model is shown to be compatible with the thermal wind relationship.
