What they saw included an astonishing doughnut-shaped jet stream of hot gases circling the sun's "Arctic" region, like Earth's own circumpolar winds. The scientists were so taken aback by the fast-moving river of plasma, they said, that they dared not reveal their findings until they had rechecked their data several times. The scientists also got a close-up look at the sun's lower-latitude trade winds, whose existence they had hitherto only suspected. The new probes not only confirmed these suspicions but also showed that the winds--actually, great bands of plasma slightly warmer than...
Scientists are only now beginning to trace this web of long-distance climatological connections--or teleconnections, as they are called--that links the ENSO cycle to major weather changes around the globe, such as shifts in the position of the jet streams. These are the high-altitude winds that serve as weather "tracks" in both the northern and southern hemispheres. A dip in the northern hemisphere's jet stream, for instance, can be expected to direct moisture-laden storms on a more southerly route over the U.S., while a nudge in the opposite direction will result in snow and rain...
...arresting Pol Pot and staging the subsequent trial, the Khmer Rouge were hoping to sanitize themselves so they can move from their futile armed resistance into the political game. In the past two years, a steady stream of people, tired of the deprivations of life in jungle villages like Kdep Tmar, have been defecting from Khmer Rouge control.
