In local continuously turbulent scaling at z/ℓO​≫1, dependence on the distance to the wall disappears at leading order. The velocity profile is linear and the buoyancy frequency is constant. Local energy balance gives ϵ=(cm​−1)∣B0​∣ and Rif​=1/cm​, with positive dissipation requiring cm​>1. The coefficients depend on a closure, and this regime should not be imposed on fully collapsed turbulence.
