Lagrangian change

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006833

The rate of change of a property of a fluid parcel as it moves through space and time, following the parcel's trajectory. This contrasts with Eulerian change, which describes the rate of change at a fixed point in space. It is often expressed using the material derivative in fluid dynamics.
