A combination of in situ and satellite data is used to examine the effects of horizontal advection, diapycnal mixing, and mixed-layer entrainment on natural iron fertilization in a region near the Shackleton Fracture Zone in southern Drake Passage. Results from Optimal Multiparameter analysis of tem...
