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

This paper presents a review of recently acquired knowledge on the physico-chemical
properties of mineral dust from Africa and Asia based on data presented and discussed …

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

Atmospheric deposition is a source of potentially bioavailable iron (Fe) and thus can partially
control biological productivity in large parts of the ocean. However, the explanation of …

A worldwide compilation of atmospheric total phosphorus (TP) and phosphate (PO4)
concentration and deposition flux observations are combined with transport model …

Phytoplankton photosynthesis links global ocean biology and climate-driven fluctuations in
the physical environment. These interactions are largely expressed through changes in …

The accumulation of secondary acids and ammonium on individual mineral dust particles
during ACE-Asia has been measured with an online single-particle mass spectrometer, 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 …

Analysis of a global compilation of dissolved-iron observations provides insights into the
processes controlling iron distributions and some constraints for ocean biogeochemical …
