Dissolved Fe (dFe) concentrations were measured in the upper 1300 m of thewater column in the vicinity of the Kerguelen Islands as part of the secondKerguelen Ocean Plateau compared Study (KEOPS2). Concentrations ranged from0.06 nmol L −1 in offshore, Southern Ocean waters to 3.82 nmol L −1 within H...
