Wavier jet stream 'may drive weather shift'Pallab Ghosh
By Pallab Ghosh
Science correspondent, BBC News, Chicago

The study shows that the so-called jet stream has increasingly taken a longer, meandering path.
This has resulted in weather remaining the same for more prolonged periods.
The work was presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Chicago.
