That is very impressive Grant. I am trying to find out what the strongest jet ever recorded on the planet was.

Found this of interest from 2015:

More on jet streams:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream


Jet streams are the product of two factors: the atmospheric heating by solar radiation that produces the large-scale Polar, Ferrel, and Hadley circulation cells, and the action of the Coriolis force acting on those moving masses. The Coriolis force is caused by the planet's rotation on its axis.
