The ____ jet is known to show seasonal variations. In winter, the winds are stronger and the jet moves farther south as the leading edge of the cold air can extend into subtropical regions, as far south as Florida and Mexico. In summer, the jet is weaker and is usually found over more northerly latitudes.

Answer:

Northern polar jet stream

Step-by-step explanation:

This jet stream is stronger in the northern hemisphere winter, due to the strong temperature gradient between the polar and equatorial regions. Natural variations include seasonal changes, as the position of the sun in the sky changes throughout the year.
