    Vertical eddy iron fluxes support primary production in the open Southern Ocean

    Submesoscale permitting simulation of the open Southern Ocean ecosystem We use the Masachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model23 (MITgcm) with an embedded full ecosystem model24,25. The model configuration is identical to a companion paper26 where we quantify the relative contribution of submesoscale and mesoscale dynamics on the total vertical iron transport. For completeness, details […] More
