Where is Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) typically most severe in relation to the core of a jet stream?

On the equatorial (high pressure) side of the jet core, well above the tropopause. Directly in the center of the jet stream core where wind speeds are highest. Directly below the jet stream core near the surface boundary layer. On the polar (low pressure) side of the jet core, just below the tropopause, in areas of strong vertical and horizontal wind shear.

Correct Answer:

On the polar (low pressure) side of the jet core, just below the tropopause, in areas of strong vertical and horizontal wind shear.
