•Assume: Iron
addition results in stripping out of nutrients
•Simulations:
ØLocation of
fertilization: Eastern Equatorial
Pacific at 2.2°S, 110°W
ØArea of fertilization: One model grid cell (4°x4° = 200,000 km2)
ØLength of time: one month (September)
•Cases considered:
ØCASE 1 - Iron added
& lost (probably most realistic) with
Ø (a) shallow regeneration of organic matter &
Ø (b) bottom regeneration of organic matter.
ØCASE 2 - Iron &
macronutrients added & retained (upper
limit) with
Ø (a) shallow regeneration of organic matter &
Ø (b) bottom regeneration of organic matter.
