Key Features of Observations
• There are maxima for Fe, Al and Mn with the EUC.
The Al maximum correlates best with the EUC.
The Fe maximum is 50-100m deeper. • Fe and Mn maxima in EUC are mostly
particulate• Al in EUC is dissolved• Concentrations of Fe, Al and Mn in the EUC
increase to the west• High surface values for dissolved Al and Mn in
the west, but not for Fe. Al and Mn concentrations decrease from west to east

Future work – we need to understand
• What controls the details of the distributions 1. Why is the surface maxima for Al and Mn (mostly
dissolved) but not for Fe? Is it river, atm origin? 2. Why is the EUC maximum for Al shallower than for Fe?
Why are EUC maxima for Fe mostly particulate but Al is dissolved? Are these from Sediment sources? 3. How (where) does the NGCUC connect to the EUC?
• Is there seasonal variability of Fe to the NGCUC that corresponds to variable speed and depth of the NGCUC?
• Northern end-member (Marianas to Mindanau to NECC)?• Stable Iron Isotopes to Distinguish Between Riverine Versus Sediment

Conclusions of Model Study:
There is a Maximum of Iron in the EUC
It is primarily in the Acid Solublele Particulate PhaseA Dissolved Iron Maximum is not Apparent
If the Acid Soluble Iron is Considered to beBioavailable if results in Unrealistic Model Biological Fields(NO3 too low; Chl too high)
Thus, There is a Source of Iron from the EUC but it isMostly not Bioavailable
