Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the vertical structure of steady motion in a dissipative tropical atmosphere forced by steady isolated diabatic heating. Vertical modes appropriate to the problem are obtained, and the forcing is projected onto these modes. With the use of an analytic expression obtained by Gill (1980) for the horizontal structure, these modes are summed to obtain the amplitude and the vertical structure of the response in the region to the east of the heating.

Up to now a comparison of vertical stability regarding the phytoplankfon development was carried out only in very limited areas or in isolated hydrological sections of the open ocean. The only exclusion is the paper by BRAARUD and 0th. (1953) accomplished in the shallow-water Northern Sea. We though
