Estimating the diffusive heat flux across a stable interface forced ewpage by convective motions

Entrainment at the top of the convectively-driven boundary layer (CBL) is revisited using data from a high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES). In the range of values of the bulk Richardson number <I>Ri</I><sub>B</sub> studied here (about 15...
