Since iron is an important micronutrient, deposition of iron in mineral aerosols can impact
the carbon cycle and atmospheric CO2. This paper reviews our current understanding of the …

Atmospheric inputs of iron to the open ocean are hypothesized to modulate ocean
biogeochemistry. This review presents an integration of available observations of …

PISCES-v2 is a biogeochemical model which simulates the lower trophic levels of marine
ecosystem (phytoplankton, microzooplankton and mesozooplankton) and the …

The solubility of iron, aluminium, manganese and phosphorus has been determined in
aerosol samples collected between 49° N and 52° S during three cruises conducted in the …

The fraction of atmospherically deposited iron which dissolves in seawater, or becomes
available to phytoplankton for growth, is a key determinant of primary productivity in many …

Mineral dust is a complex entity containing a range of iron minerals including poorly
crystalline to crystalline iron oxides to clay minerals. Important progress has been made to …

We report empirical estimates of the fractional solubility of aerosol iron over the Sargasso
Sea during periods characterized by high concentrations of Saharan dust (summer 2003) …

Aerosol deposition provides a major input of the essential micronutrient iron to the open
ocean. A critical parameter with respect to biological availability is the proportion of aerosol …

A total of 47 marine aerosols collected from the East China Sea between the spring of 2005
and the spring of 2007 were analyzed for both the water-soluble and the total concentrations …

Satellite imagery has greatly influenced our understanding of dust activity on a global scale.
A number of different satellites such as NASA's Earth-Probe Total Ozone Map** …
