In this image two very strong jet streaks can be observed. One is streching from Iceland to Portugal and the second one, wich is of our interest, is spreading from Algeria to the Alpine region. The jet of our interest is parallel to the Cold Front cloudiness and the zero line of shear vorticity is situated within the cloud band. Cloud bulge located over southern France already reveals some Wave structure and it is situated at the left exit region of the jet streak.
