Investigation into the impact of storms on sustaining summer primary productivity in the Sub‐Antarctic Ocean

Abstract In the Sub‐Antarctic Ocean elevated phytoplankton biomass persists through summer at a time when productivity is expected to be low due to iron limitation. Biological iron recycling has been shown to support summer biomass. In addition, we investigate an iron supply mechanism previously una...
