Steady-state solutions for subsurface chlorophyll maximum in stratified water columns with a bell-shaped vertical profile of chlorophyll

A bell-shaped vertical profile of chlorophyll <i>a</i> (Chl <i>a</i>) concentration, conventionally referred to as a subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM) phenomenon, has frequently been observed in stratified oceans and lakes. This profile is assumed to be a general Gaussian...
