Abstract
The evaluation and detailed analysis of 'Project Jet Stream' flight data of the 1956-1957 phase reveals a structure in the fields of wind velocity, temperature and divergence with wave lengths in the order of magnitude of 20 to 100 km. This 'meso-structure' is rather long-lived and may expend over hundreds of kilometers. Some speculations as to the possibility of soaring in the jet-stream region will be made.
