Equation Description :

The production terms for diatoms are defined as for nanophytoplankton except that the
limitations terms include Si as well as PO4, Fe, NO3, NH4.

Parameters definitions and typical values in PISCES:
delta D = 0.05; diatom exudation of DOC;
g M = 0.7 d-1 (max mesozooplankton grazing rate);
g Z = 4 d-1 (max microzooplankton grazing rate);
K D = 0.1 micro mol C l-1 (Half-saturation k for mortality);
M = mesozooplankton concentration micro mol C l-1;
m D = 0.01 d-1 (diatom mortality rate);
mu D = diatom production (see link below);
w p D = diatom aggregation term (link to equation below);
Z = microzooplankton concentration micro mol C l-1;
