The profile of turbulent heat flux is shewn in Figure The net surface heat flux varies from positive Figure Turbulent Heat Flux Profile. to negative values according to equation (). The entrainment heat flux term, -Z^T rfa, is always negative or zero. This is because the entrainment rate is positive when the mixed layer is deepening but 'turns off' and is zero for non-entraining shallowing cases. The thickness of the 18
