We recorded vertical profiles of size distributions of particles (ranging from 0.052 to several mm in equivalentspherical diameter) in the natural iron-fertilized bloom southeast of Kerguelen Island (Southern Ocean) and insurrounding high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) waters with an Under Water V...
