The role that dissolved iron (dFe) rich Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) might play in sustaining the consistently observed discrete patches of high chlorophyll biomass over Pennell Bank (PB) and Mawson Bank (MB) in the Ross Sea, was investigated during January/February 2011. Over a 26-day period, hydro...
