Extract

Recently, Unno has proposed a new method for constructing models of convective non-grey atmospheres, making two substantial improvements to the mixing-length theory of Böhm-Vitense. His method, based on the variational technique of Glansdorff-Prigogine, enables the determination of the eddy-size and is no longer dependent on an ad hoc assumption of a constant mixing-length to scale height ratio. It also takes into account the effects of non-grey radiative transfer.
