[1] We use an ocean circulation, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem model to explore the interactions between ocean circulation, macroand micro-nutrient supply to the euphotic layer, and biological productivity. The model suggests a tight coupling between the degree of iron limitation in the upwelling subpolar and tropical oceans and the productivity of the adjacent subtropical gyres. This coupling...
