I believe the answer is:

jet stream

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'high altitude wind' is the definition.
'jet stream' can be an answer for 'wind' (jet stream is a kind of wind). I am not certain of the 'high altitude' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jet stream that I've seen before include "High-altitude, high-speed wind" , "High atmospheric westerly current" , "flow behind aircraft" , "Strong westerlies" , "Upper atmosphere current" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
