On voyages in the Iceland Basin in 2007 and 2009, we observed low (ca. 0.1nM) total dissolved iron concentrations dFe in surface waters (<150m), which increased with depth to ca. 0.2-0.9nM. The surface water dFe was low due to low atmospheric Fe inputs combined with biological uptake, with Fe reg...
