Within the context of Monin--Obukhov stabilty theory, it can be shown that the neutral value ``\tilde{\psi}_\theta(0)`` is equal to the neutral turbulent Prandtl number,
Within the context of Monin--Obukhov stability theory, it can be shown that the neutral value ``\tilde{\psi}_\theta(0)`` is equal to the neutral turbulent Prandtl number,

```math
Pr(\zeta=0) \equiv \frac{\tilde{\psi}_\theta(0)}{\tilde{\psi}_u(0)} = \tilde{\psi}_\theta(0) \, ,
```

and observations suggest that ``\tilde{\psi}_θ(0) ≈ 0.7``.
Otherwise, the interpretation of variations in ``\tilde{\psi}_\theta`` (increased by stability, decreased by instability)is similar as for momentum.
We typically use the same "scalar" stability function to scale the vertical profiles of both temperature and water vapor, but neverthless ClimaOcean retains the possibility of an independent ``\tilde{\psi}_q``.

The term ``\psi_u(\ell_u / L_\star)`` is often neglected because ``\ell_u / L_\star`` is miniscule and because by definition, ``\psi_u(0) = 0``.

Similar formulas hold for temperature and water vapor,
