A slab model is proposed for developing the height of the mixed layer capped by stable air aloft. The model equations are closed by relating the consumption of energy (potential and kinetic) at the top of the mixed layer to the production of convective and mechanical turbulent kinetic energy within
## Abstract A new parametrization for the depth of the daytime entrainment zone is presented. It is derived from a simple energy budget, in which the eddy velocity in the mixed layer penetrating the overlying stable entrainment zone is taken to be proportional to the characteristic top‐down velocit
