16. 15 Fig. 3. Simulated profiles and observed values of total inorganic nitrogen at the stations A and B

17. 16 Fig. 4. Simulated profiles and observed values of phosphate at the A and B

18. 17 Fig. 5. Simulated and mean observed values of total inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus in the upper layer at the stations A and B total inorganic nitrogenphosphate Renk (2000) obtained relationship of phosphate and total inorganic nitrogen in the euphotic layer in the southern Baltic Sea as P=0.072N+0.115. This equation suggests that in the vegetation season the P:N =1:14.1. In the Gdańsk Gulf in this period the N:P=10.8; but in the Gdańsk Deep is 6.5.
