The highest wind velocity is found in the jet stream core where speeds can be as high as 460 km/h (290 mph) in the winter. The jet stream core region averages 160 km/h (100 mph) in winter and 80 km/h (50 mph) in summer. 2, record 1, English, - jet%2Dstream%20core

Thus, when delineating the jet-stream axis at 250 hPa, this axis is in reality only a reflection of the core which may be below or above the level of 250 hPa. 1, record 1, English, - jet%2Dstream%20core

Par conséquent, lorsqu'on place l'axe du courant-jet à 250 hPa, cet axe n'est donc qu'une réflexion du cœur qui peut être au-dessus ou au-dessous du niveau de 250 hPa. 2, record 1, French, - c%26oelig%3Bur%20du%20courant%2Djet

Le cœur du courant-jet est la partie où le vent atteint la plus grande vélocité. La vitesse du vent diminue au fur et à mesure qu'on s'éloigne du cœur du courant-jet, et cette décroissance est beaucoup plus marquée côté pôle, soit en régions plus froides. 3, record 1, French, - c%26oelig%3Bur%20du%20courant%2Djet

Por consiguiente, cuando se sitúa el eje de la corriente en chorro a 250 hPa, ese eje es en realidad sólo un reflejo del núcleo, que puede estar por encima o por debajo del nivel de 250 hPa. 1, record 1, Spanish, - n%C3%BAcleo%20de%20la%20corriente%20en%20chorro
