Which process dictates the path of low-pressure weather systems along the atmospheric jet stream?

💡 Explanation

When moving air masses interact with the jet stream, the Coriolis effect causes deflection while orographic lift forces air upward over mountains, both influencing the path of low-pressure systems. Therefore, deflection and orographic lift dictates the system's path, rather than latent heat, density variance or adiabatic effects which contribute but do not predominantly determine directional movement.
