Abstract: Lilly's model of a horizontally homogeneous cloud-topped mixed layer is studied. The model is closed by taking a weighted (weighting factor or entrainment parameter k) average of Lilly's maximum and minimum entrainment cases. The dependence of steady-state solutions on large-scale divergence, sea surface temperature and entrainment parameter k is investigated. By numerical integration the response of the mixed layer to a diurnally varying radiative flux is investigated. Significant variations in the state of the mixed layer and in the convective fluxes are found.
