Surface water (1000 m) dissolved iron and aluminium (nmol/kg) in the Atlantic along CLIVAR A16 (2003; Chris Measures and Bill Landing)

Main hypothesis of our UK SOLAS project: Atmospheric inputs control rates of primary production and microbial diversity in oceanic waters where nutrients are limiting

Poseidon Cruise POS 332 January 28 – February Objectives of cruise: 1. Provide improved estimate of dust inputs to tropical N Atlantic 2. Determine influence of dust on species diversity, nutrient cycling and N 2 fixation FS Poseidon
