\end{equation}  where the factor 1/2 comes from the fact that at each level approximately one-half of the matter is rising and one-half is descending. Here $\rho$, $\bar{v}$ and $\cp$ are averages along the distance $\lambda$ of density, velocity and specific heat at constant pressure of upward and downward moving fluid elements.  Using equation~\ref{eq:deltat} we can write  \begin{equation} \begin{equation}\label{eq:convectiveflux}  F_{c} = \frac{1}{2} \rho \bar{v}\, \cp \, T \frac{\lambda}{\hp} ( \nabla - \nabla') ,  \end{equation}
