Abstract
A nonlinear energy stability analysis is presented for the penetrative convection model of Veronis (1963). For top temperatures between 4°C and 8°C the nonlinear stability boundary obtained is very close to the linear one of Veronis and enables a region of possible sub-critical instabilities to be determined.Keywords
