Aeolian Iron and Its Contribution to Phytoplankton Production in McMurdo Sound, Southwest Ross Sea, Antarctica
Each summer the waters in McMurdo Sound (Lat. 77.5ºS; Long. 165ºE), south-western (SW) Ross Sea encounter vast phytoplankton blooms. This phenomenon is stimulated by the addition of bio-available iron (Fe) to an environment where phytoplankton growth is otherwise Fe-limited. One possible source of s...
