Which mechanism intensifies meandering of jet streams within upper troposphere?

💡 Explanation

When latent heat is abundant (e.g. during thunderstorms), latent heat is released during condensation, which amplifies existing Rossby waves because it strengthens horizontal temperature gradients. Therefore, amplified Rossby waves increases the meandering of jet streams, rather than albedo increase, salinity, or vegetation changes causing this intensification requiring different triggers.
