The core of the Bodele Low Level Jet was also mapped for the first time from the wind data and was shown to undergo a very marked diurnal cycle with peak winds occurring mid morning.

This low level jet stream usually glides over a dense layer of cold air in the winter, but the recent mild, moist conditions have led to storms that have sent the fierce winds to the surface.

During night time, the Bodele Low Level Jet flows over a near-surface inversion but quickly mixes down to the surface a few hours after sunrise once the intense surface heating induces turbulence in the lowest layers.

Complementary research published in Geophysical Research Letters by Richard Washington from the University of Oxford and Martin Todd ( University of Sussex ) has shown that these strong winds are part of feature now called the Bodele Low Level Jet.

The little-understood phenomena _ " low level jets, " as scientists call them _ are powerful wind currents moving along the fronts of large Pacific storms _ meteorological powerhouses that can bring intense, sustained rain.

Individual dust storms in the Bodele were also shown in this research to coincide with a major strengthening of the Bodele Low Level Jet which, in turn, is associated with the ridging of the Libyan High, a feature of the subtropical High Pressure belt.

When the disturbance along the West Coast slides across the southern Rockies, this low level jet will start to direct very moist air north from the Gulf of Mexico setting the stage for a blizzard in the upper Plains and an outbreak of thunderstorms farther south Friday.

It is commonly observed near microbursts and downbursts caused by thunderstorms, fronts, areas of locally higher low-level winds referred to as low level jets, near mountains, radiation inversions that occur due to clear skies and calm winds, buildings, wind turbines, and sailboats.
