\begin{equation}\label{eq:gamma}  \Gamma = \frac{\cp}{12\sqrt{2} a c}\frac{\kappa g Q^{1/2} \rho^{5/2} \lambda^2}{\P^{1/2} T^3}(\nabla - \nabla')^{1/2} = \mathscr{A} \, (\nabla - \nabla')^{1/2}  \end{equation}  where $\mathsc{A} $\mathscr{A}  \equiv \frac{Q^{1/2} \cp ]kappa g \rho^{5/2} \lambda^2}{12\sqrt{2}ac\P{1/2}T^3}$ is essentially the ratio of the convective to the radiative conductivities.
