Five Miles High: Jet Stream

BBC Four
on BBC Four

Extreme weather patterns are driven by the same thing that aids air travel: the jet stream, a high altitude river of air. This documentary looks at its discovery during the Second World War and how it affects us now, including the 1987 storms in Britain.
