Upper-level jet streams are often coupled with low-level jet streams. To gain scientific insight into coupled upper-level and low-level jet streams, check out the schematic through the link below (keep in mind the northerly ageostrophic component to the wind and the corresponding divergence that occur in the left exit region of the 300-MB jet streak). In response, a region of negative pressure tendencies develops in the lower troposphere beneath the area of upper-level divergence. The pocket of pressure falls causes low-level southerly winds to accelerate, which often paves the way for a low-level jet stream. Such a low-level jet stream rapidly transports moisture northward and increases the low-level vertical wind shear.
