The Bulk Richardson number (often denoted as \( \text{Ri}_B \)) is a dimensionless parameter used in meteorology and oceanography to assess the stability of a fluid layer, particularly in relation to the vertical mixing of buoyancy-driven flows, such as those found in the atmosphere or ocean. It compares the potential energy associated with buoyancy to the kinetic energy associated with vertical shear.
