Mean Flow Interaction

Mean Flow Interaction is a theoretical construct in geophysical fluid dynamics that describes the mutual modulation between large-scale background flows and propagating wave disturbances, distinguishing itself by accounting for the exchange of energy and momentum that alters both the structure of the mean flow and the evolution of instabilities such as baroclinic or Rossby waves.
