Abstract:
Recent development in the diagnosis of mean flow forcing by quasi-geostrophic eddies are reviewed. The so-called Eliassen-Palm flux, which has been used to diagnose the forcing of the zonal mean wind by stationary waves, has recently been extended to three-dimensional eddy-mean flow interactions by Hoskins. This work may provide a framework for understanding the driving of mean flows by transient eddies in the atmosphere and the oceans.
