Jet streams are fast flowing, relatively narrow air
currents found in the atmosphere at around 11
kilometres (36,000 ft) above the surface of the
Earth, just under the tropopause. Jet streams are
mainly found in the stratosphere. Their location is
determined by differences in pressure between
large masses of air. The major jet streams are
westerly winds (flowing west to east) in both the
Northern Hemisphere and the Southern
Hemisphere. The path of the jet typically has a
meandering shape as shown in Figure 1.
Airplane travelers experience the jet stream when
the trip flying east to west takes longer than when
flying west to east in the Northern hemisphere.
The jet stream steers cyclonic storm systems at
lower levels in the atmosphere, and so knowledge
of their course has become an important part of
weather forecasting. Jet streams also play an
important part in the creation of supercells, the
storm systems which create tornadoes. Major
droughts and major floods can be associated with a
jet stream remaining stationary for weeks at a time.
The Jet Stream Solar Power Satellite is a dual use
Satellite which can focus microwave energy into a
jet stream to change the jet streams location and
prevent it from remaining stationary for a long
period of time.

SUMMARY COMMENTS
  
This web site describes an apparatus and method for modifying the direction
of a jet stream for beneficial effects of controlling droughts, floods and severe
weather. It is the author's hope that this technology can help future
generations in the amelioration of severe weather.
   A solar power satellite won't be built for many years. However, it is our hope
that this technology can be used for the benefit of mankind.
  We are aware of the safety considerations and recommend that if research
in this area is pursued, that it be under the National Academy of Science
recommended guidelines for weather modification research.
  This concept has been submitted to the patent office and a patent is pending.
