The chapter opens with a description of severe weather events which occurred across Asia in the summer of 2010. These events were linked in atmospheric physics by a Rossby wave, which causes the jet stream to meander north and south. The concept of vorticity is introduced in order to give a basic understanding of Rossby waves. Some characteristics of the jet stream over Asia are also discussed, such as how it changes with the seasons.
