An Eulerian mean flow is obtained by averaging the <velocity field> at fixed spatial positions, for example over longitude or over an ensemble. It differs from a parcel-following average. In the <transformed Eulerian mean>, its meridional circulation is corrected by an eddy-induced contribution to form the <residual mean circulation>.
