Mineral dust is the largest contributor to elemental iron in the atmosphere, and, by deposition, to the oceans, where elemental iron is the main limiting nutrient. Southern Africa is an important source at the regional scale, and for the Southern Ocean, however limited knowledge is currently availab...
