A parametrization for the entrainment rate in shear‐free convective cloud‐capped boundary layers is derived. The only information it requires is the external mixed‐layer turbulence forcings (the surface buoyancy flux and the net radiative‐divergence profile), the inversion jumps of temperature and humidity, the cloud‐top liquid water mixing ratio and the cloud and mixed‐layer depths. Despite this simplicity it is found to compare well against both a wide range of large‐eddy simulations and observations of stratocumulus.
