The Science Officer aboard the Enterprise, Mr. Spock, reports to Captain Kirk that the great ocean conveyor belt has shutdown. If you wish to draw a picture, you may do so. This question has 2 parts. Most of the fluorescense from chlorophyll is excited by electromagnetic radiation acting on the reaction senters in an algal cell. Diel migration of zooplankton such as copepods occurs usually during the stratefied season on temperate waters.
Internal waves can break in a fashion similar to surface waves on the ocean.
Organisms the size of bacteria can increase the diffusive flux of nutrients by swimming. Organic polymers that could be synthesized under prebiotic conditions on planet Earth include RNA, DNA, and polypeptides. Bacterioplankton biomass usually dominates the living carbon pool in the upper ocean. The length scale of the smallest eddies that can persist in the ocean is independent of epsilon, the turbulent dissipation. Latitudinal gradients in primary production are best explained by insolation.
