Peters 1995). Dissolved inorganic nutrients are homogeneously distributed within
the euphotic surface layer where algal cells strongly interact and grow as a result
of competition for nutrients and light. The wind continuously stirs the surface
layer contributing to an almost homogeneous horizontal distribution
of algal cells. Zooplankton mayaiso be affected by wind but are mobile to a
certain extent. They tend to form horizontal patches in response to food
