Question

The polar jet stream removes air above the surface cyclone and supplies air to the surface anticyclone.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The polar jet stream is a fast-moving narrow air current that flows from west to east in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. It plays an important role in the movement and development of weather systems. The polar jet stream can remove air from above a surface cyclone and supply air to a surface anticyclone. This is due to the strong pressure gradient associated with the jet stream, which can push air downward toward the surface in high-pressure regions (anticyclones) and lift air upward away from the surface in low-pressure regions (cyclones). Therefore, the statement is true.
