Abstract
Using satellite data and a chlorophyll concentration profile reported in the literature we predict a Marangoni stress whose maximum order of magnitude is 10â 6 N mâ 2. We also present the results of a numerical test, where we evaluate the Marangoni stress caused by horizontal variations of the plankton distribution due to the converging flows in a thermal bar, obtaining a Marangoni stress of order of magnitude 10â 5 N mâ 2 and a corresponding velocity in the bulk that is at most equal to 10â 4 m sâ 1, with values of film pressure within the range of the data available in the literature.
