Particulate iron and the nepheloid layer in the western North Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico

Greatly increased concentrations of particulate iron were found within 1000 m of the bottom in the northwest Atlantic and eastern Gulf of Mexico (6 times and 3 to 4 times the average of shallower water, respectively) while only slightly increased concentrations were found within 1000 m of the bottom...
