متن کاملThe Distribution of Dissolved Iron in the West Atlantic Ocean
Iron (Fe) is an essential trace element for marine life. Extremely low Fe concentrations limit primary production and nitrogen fixation in large parts of the oceans and consequently influence ocean ecosystem functioning. The importance of Fe for ocean ecosystems makes Fe one of the core chemical trace elements in the international GEOTRACES program. Despite the recognized importance of Fe, our ...
متن کاملDissolved iron in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean
[1] Detailed depth profiles and surface transects of dissolved iron (DFe defined by 0.4-mm filtration) were investigated on three cruises in the subtropical and tropical Atlantic Ocean where dust deposition varied by 3 orders of magnitude. Surface DFe and dissolved Mn concentrations reflected dust deposition trends, but are not proportional to the estimated inputs. Using estimates of the atmosp...
متن کاملEcodynamics and Dissolved Gas Chemistry Routines for Ocean Circulation Models
Interactions between oceanic nitrate ecology and circulation determine the marine distribution of dissolved, climate relevant trace gases such as dimethyl sul®de (DMS) and carbonyl sul®de (OCS), and a variety of hydrocarbons. Our group is constructing a suite of ecosystem/reaction/transport models, which link nitrate to the chemistry of volatiles near the sea±air interface. In this paper, we de...
متن کاملIron in the Sargasso Sea: Implications for the processes controlling dissolved Fe distribution in the ocean
[1] In the surface water of the winter Sargasso Sea, ‘‘dissolved’’ Fe concentrations (defined as iron that passes through a filter with an 0.4 micrometer diameter pore size) decrease with increasing latitude from 0.8 nM at 26 N to 0.2 nM at 31 N. It does not appear that this pattern can be explained solely by spatial variations of eolian Fe deposition. Vertical mixing, phytoplankton growth and ...
