8 Zonal Mean and Eddy Components " Overall the strongest gradients in circulation are north-south rather than east-west So we describe circulation as zonal-mean (average around latitude circles) plus eddy (deviations form zonal-mean) components Zonal-mean circulation consists of generally strong zonal flow and much weaker overturning circulation in the meridional plane (mean meridional circulation, MMC)

15 Dominant Balances Determining the MMC Write nonlinear advection in terms of eddy flux convergences Look for steady state Consider only dominant terms for extratropical region

17 "Transformed-Eulerian" Equations " Define a transformed MMC that is "forced" (mostly) by the diabatic heating " Effects of eddy fluxes on the zonal mean takes the form of an "Eliassen-Palm (EP) flux divergence " TE MMC is close to Lagrangian MMC
