The layer of the atmosphere that has significant horizontal wind movement is the troposphere. This is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where weather occurs and where most of the air mass is located. Wind patterns in the troposphere are influenced by temperature differences, the Earth's rotation, and various weather systems. Above the troposphere, in the stratosphere, horizontal winds, known as jet streams, can also be found at higher altitudes.
