Subtropical Westerly Jet Influence on Occurrence of Western Disturbances and Tibetan Plateau Vortices

Abstract Western disturbances (WDs) are midtropospheric to upper‐tropospheric mesoscale vortices, which typically propagate along the subtropical westerly jet stream and bring heavy rainfall to Pakistan and northern India during boreal winter. They are dynamically similar to Tibetan Plateau vortices...
