On dry penetrative convection

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

A model of a convection layer is developed in order to predict the complete profile of potential temperature. The functional behaviour of the profile satisfies the equation for the conservation of heat, and the theory is closed by considering the structure of the thermal elements which support the convection. The profile of a passive scalar is also predicted. The results of the model are compared with laboratory experiments and field observations.
