Where is Bethel jet stream

Published 2006 December 19 Updates , maps , where is Bethel 5 Comments

I’m hoping this is the current jet stream for us. The jet stream bends, almost double it seems sometimes, around Alaska, bouncing off the Aleutians. Since most in the Lower 48 never see the weather map for Alaska, your idea of the jet stream is very different. (Most US TV weather readers/casters stand in front of New Mexico. My brother in NYC could never tell what Mountain Time weather was like.)

Speaking of watching big planes land http://ykalaska.wordpress.com/2007/03/20/where-is-alaska-airbus/
and jet streams. The following was about a year or 6 months before the first commercial jet liner.

How to Ride the Jet Stream, Monday, Feb. 04, 1957

Near the base of the stratosphere, 35,000 to 40,000 ft. above the earth, the jet stream offers free west-east transportation to airplanes that can find it and stay in it. It is a hard trick to do, but last week a B-47 bomber stayed in the jet stream most of the way from March Air Force Base, Calif, to Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., and made the 2,700-mile trip in 3 hr. 47 min. at the average ground speed of 714 m.p.h.—setting an unofficial record. Major Mont Smith, commander of the B-47, gave most of the credit to the AN/APN-66, a navigation device made by General Precision Laboratory, Inc. of Pleasantville, N.Y.

That navigation device must be better than the modern one for the Bethel Mountain Passes? Where is… Alaska’s mountainous Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta

Noemi, I’m glad you find something interesting. Don’t forget, if you have school or community preparedness plans to contribute or thoughts about community health and environment improvements, you are very welcome to share. The larger community doesn’t often get to hear or benefit from the good ideas that teens and youth have to offer.

2009 Yup'ik Dance Festival
Now that I've acknowledged that I am a blog slacker, I figured that I should make up for all the events that passed by without even a mention on my blog. The weekend of the Yup'ik Dance Festival is always a busy one. People from Bethel and all other neighboring villages travel by plane, four wheeler, and snow machine to come to Toksook for a week […]
almost airborne
The house is packed up. My classroom is cleaned, electronics wrapped in plastic, walls are cleared, desks are pushed to one side of the room. My computer is about to be returned and given a clean sweep (re-imaged). I need to make a trash run to the dump with all the junk I"ve accumulated in my house. All of my packed things are hopefully going out o […]
We're melting away
Alaska is a difficult place to live in for most of the year and during the winter especially, but the in between seasons are my least favorite times of the year. Fall and Spring. In the fall, the rains turn everything into mud, which gets tracked everywhere. On top of that, when it dries, it turns into dust, especially in carpeted areas. Our whole school […]
Euphoric fishing
This year has been challenging and rewarding in many ways already. I've been trying to get my feet under me in the classroom. Each new batch of 7th graders that get thrown my way try to test their new teacher by driving them crazy. This years group is trying hard, but they aren't getting anywhere. Tough love! There is always so much work to ge […]
Last days of school and Spring skiing
It's May 12th and there are 7 more days of school left. Spring is fully upon us and there is a lot of meltage occuring all around us. Many of you who read this are not used to seeing snow around your houses this time of year. Heck, my Dad has been telling me about all the great fishing he has been doing all ready. Well, up here, the ice still locked […]
