Unit of Lambda2

Hi all,

The unit of lambda2 isosurfaces is [s^-2], right?
All articles I found, it is unitless (no unit is written).

I suppose it is s^-2 since the unit of S^2+Omega^2 = [s^(-2)]

Thanks, Pernille

You did not see because often one works using the non-dimensional form of the equations.
