Results as a Series of Vertical Profiles

We can also view the time-depth vertical cross section as a chronological series of vertical profiles (i.e., a time series). This plot also shows phytoplankton biomass for a model run with nitrogen, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and detritus as components. The vertical lines on the plot mark the location of vertical profiles.

For each location (A,B,C,D) choose the correct vertical profile (Profile 1 - Profile 5)
