β¦ Synopsis
The transient behaviour of the age of the water and that of the surface water is studied in the World Ocean. At any time and position, the age of the water, the age and the concentration of the surface water are seen to obey a simple algebraic relation. The latter is illustrated by means of results of a three-dimensional World Ocean model and the analytical solution of an idealised, purely-diffusive, one-dimensional problem.

Classical chemostat models such as the Monod, Marr-Pirt and Droop models are formulated at the population level. These models are unstructured, which means that all individuals in the population are treated as being identical. Such models fail to describe the experimental data of Dent et al. (1976,
