From this series of measurements, two conclusions can be drawn. First, the vertical distribution of temperature and chlorophyll is homogeneous spatially throughout this area of the Celtic Sea second, a close relationship exists between the vertical structure of temperature and chlorophyll for all the seasons, although the exact relationship may differ for the...

A simple, quantitative, steady-state diffusion model (36) demonstrates the importance of physical processes in shaping the vertical distribution of phytoplankton. This model uses values of the eddy diffusion coefficient K from the theoretical model of James (35), which reproduces accurately the annual cycle of vertical temperature structure for this area of the Celtic Sea. The submodels for photosynthetic production, light, and grazing can be varied to any of the established models nutrient luxury or nutrient limitation of growth can be included. The model reproduces the main features of the UOR observations in the Celtic Sea and English Channel. 

Table salt, the most commonly used type of salt, is acid-forming. I recommend that you switch to Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt, which are alkalizing to the body. Celtic sea salt and similar unrefined sea salts look gray and a bit moist. Himalayan salt has a naturally occurring orange color. Both types of salt contain a healthier, alkalizing form of sodium and are packed with many other minerals, including potassium and calcium.
