Profiles of <i>chl a</i> concentration measured in sites L1129b (panel a) and L1105 (panel b).
<p>The black lines have been obtained by connecting the experimental points corresponding to samples distanced of 1 meter along the water column. The total number of samples measured in the two sites is for L1129b, and for L1105.

Theoretical distributions (red line) of the total <i>chl a</i> and <i>Dvchl a</i> concentration in stationary conditions.
<p>The profiles, obtained by the deterministic model and given as a function of the depth, are compared with experimental distributions (green line) sampled in sites L1129b (panel a) and L1105 (panel b). (Color online).</p
Mean vertical profile of <i>chl a</i> per picoeukaryote cell (panel a) and <i>Dvchl a</i> per Prochlorococcus cell (panel b).
<p>Error bars are Standard Deviation. Equation and for the fit are reported on the plots. (Courtesy of Brunet et al., 2007 (Ref. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0066765#pone.0066765-Brunet2" target="_blank">[51]</a>)).</p
Magnitude, depth, and width of the DCM as a function of obtained from the model.
<p>The values were obtained in stationary regime for site L1129b (panels a, b, c) and site L1105 (panels d, e, f).</p
Stationary distributions of picoeukaryotes and Prochlorococcus biomass concentrations and light intensity: site L1129b (panels a, b, c) and site L1105 (panels d, e, f) as a function of depth.
