The term "mountain jet" can refer to a couple of different concepts depending on the context, but most commonly it relates to meteorology. In meteorology, a "mountain jet" refers to a type of wind phenomenon that occurs in mountainous areas. It is characterized by high-velocity winds that are funneled through mountain passes, valleys, or ridges, often resulting from the pressure differences created by the topography of the mountains.
