We study the coherent dynamics of globally coupled maps showing macroscopic chaos. With this term we indicate the hydrodynamical-like irregular behaviour of some global observables, with typical times much longer than the times related to the evolution of the single (or microscopic) elements of the system. The usual Lyapunov exponent is not able to capture the essential features of this macroscopic phenomenon. Using the recently introduced notion of finite size Lyapunov exponent, we characterize, in a consistent way, these macroscopic behaviours. Basically, at small values of the perturbation we recover the usual (microscopic) Lyapunov exponent, while at larger values a sort of macroscopic Lyapunov exponent emerges, which can be much smaller than the former. A quantitative characterization of the chaotic motion at hydrodynamical level is then possible, even in the absence of the explicit equations for the time evolution of the macroscopic observables.
