! !ROUTINE: The algebraic epsilonb-equation\label{sec:epsbalgebraic}
!
! !INTERFACE:
   subroutine epsbalgebraic(nlev)
!
! !DESCRIPTION:
! The algebraic equation for $\epsilon_b$, the molecular rate of
! destruction of buoyancy variance, see \eq{kbeq}, simply assumes a
! constant time scale ratio $r=c_b$, see \eq{DefR}. From
! this assumption, it follows immediately that
! \begin{equation}
!   \label{epsbAgebraic}
!     \epsilon_b = \dfrac{1}{c_b} \dfrac{\epsilon}{k} k_b
!   \point
! \end{equation}
!
! !USES:
  use turbulence,  only:     tke,eps,kb,epsb
  use turbulence,  only:     ctt,epsb_min

  IMPLICIT NONE
!
! !INPUT PARAMETERS:

! number of vertical layers
  integer,  intent(in)                 :: nlev
