Proxies for overshooting above a convection zone
Abstract
Due to the up/down asymmetry caused by stratification, overshooting above differs from overshooting below a convection zone. The flux of kinetic energy, frequently used as a proxy of overshooting below a convection zone, cannot be used for the upward problem.
