Seasonal progression of dissolved iron (DFe) concentrations in the upper water column were examined during four occupations in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. DFe inventories from euphotic and aphotic reservoirs decreased progressively from July to February, while dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) decreased from July to January with no significant change between January and February. Results suggest that between July and January, DFe loss from both euphotic and aphotic reservoirs were predominantly in support of phytoplankton growth (Iron to carbon (Fe:C) uptake ratio of 16±3 μmol mol‐1) highlighting the importance of the “winter DFe‐reservoir” for biological uptake. During January to February, excess loss of DFe relative to DIN (Fe:C uptake... |
