A Parameterization of the Depth of the Entrainment ZoneSource: Journal of Applied Meteorology:;1989:;volume( 028 ):;issue: 002::page 107Author:Boers, Reinout

Abstract: A theory of the parameterization of the entrainment zone depth has been developed based on conservation of energy. This theory suggests that the normalized entrainment zone depth is proportional to the inverse square root of the Richardson number. A comparison of this theory with atmospheric observations indicates excellent agreement. It does not adequately predict the laboratory data, although it improves on parcel theory, which is based on a momentum balance.
