Sodium bicarb (baking soda) has the benefit of increasing the alkalinity without raising the pH too much. This is unlike sodium carbonate (soda ash), which will increase both the alkalinity and pH substantially.

Best explanation of the relationship between something being alkaline and pool alkalinity available. Most importantly it's in metric units. It has been impossible to find anything that isn't in gallons. Also that doesn't omit the small matter, that the volume of the pool effects (defines!) the concentration. However, there remains the issue of guessing what mg/L concentration a coloured strip is. I guess a proper pH meter is required. Thank you Louis: A proper scientific explanation from a proper scientist (chemist).
