The New Forest Association said that after it was previously altered the stream became disconnected from its floodplain.
A user would control it via a GUI that resembles an FM tuner according to the patent, letting them tweak their preferences to alter the stream.
They found that the drugs drastically altered the stream bacteria and minimized the growth of biofilms (the stuff that makes river rocks slimy).
Astronomers believed this gyre was altering the jet stream's course, much in the same way a large rock would change a nearby river's path.
Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University is a leading proponent of the theory that rapid changes in the Arctic — including melting sea ice — are altering the jet stream and leading to weather extremes, like the bitter recent US winters, deadly heat waves in Russia, and extended cold spells in Europe.
Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Rutgers University, said that the loss of sea ice appears to altering the polar jet stream, causing more frequent, more severe extreme weather events, including cold snaps along the eastern United States, and relatively warm temperatures in Europe. .
Since the jet stream, which is a corridor of strong winds at upper levels of the atmosphere that generally blows from west to east across the northern mid-latitudes, is powered by the temperature difference between the Arctic and areas farther south, any alteration of that temperature difference is bound to alter the jet stream — with potentially profound implications.
It ends its days as the soaring costs of disposal are forcing equally momentous changes that experts say will fundamentally alter the waste stream, and American habits, in years to come.
This, along with warmer air temperatures in the Arctic, has altered the jet stream, making it more "wavy" in autumn and winter, and more prone to getting stuck in one position.
