cell light history in the model

photoresponse rate (rate of acclimation) is related to the light level

Lagrangian mixing model - follow particles

random walk

magnitude of walk decreases with depth

Pt was increased at the surface because of "cells" that were continually mixed up and those that were there being mixed down.

supports that hypothesis that photoresponse/photoacclimation strategies are an important mechanism to exploit turbulence
