Which atmospheric process redirects trade winds, forming narrow, intense jet streams aloft?

💡 Explanation

A strong temperature gradient at lower latitudes causes a thermally direct circulation forcing jet formation; the Coriolis effect acts upon these strengthening winds and deflects them into eastward streams because the Earth rotates, therefore the answer is Coriolis; rather than vertical effects.
