- •
Turbulence measurements and microphytoplankton counts were taken in coastal waters.
- •
Batchelor length scales varied between 20 and 200 渭m in this turbulent environment.
- •
Chain forming diatoms of similar size to these Batchelor scales were dominant.
- •
Nitrogen limitation was indicated by nutrient ratios below the Redfield values.
- •
The results suggest diatom chains can access nutrient pulses under high turbulence.
