Bio-essential iron can relieve nutrient limitation and stimulate marine productivity in the Southern Ocean. The fractional iron solubility of aerosol iron is an important variable determining iron availability for biological uptake. However, estimates of dissolved iron (dFe; iron < 0.2 μm) and th...
