Deep dissolved iron profiles in the eastern North Atlantic in relation to water masses
International audience Concentrations of dissolved iron (DFe, 0.2mum) were determined at two stations in the Biscay Abyssal Plain ( North East Atlantic) in March 2002. DFe concentrations in the surface layer (0.23-0.34 nM) were typical of winter conditions in this area. At 1000 m, DFe concentrations...
