Seasonal influences onremineralisation depth
• Iron• Silicate• Phytoplankton community• Phytoplankton physiology• Primary and export production

Hypothesis:
The seasonal interplay ofupper limb surface biogeochemistry, circulation and remineralisation
controls how long carbon entering the ocean is kept out of the
atmosphere.

Approach
• Focus on key water mass formation area
• Sensors, mooring & gliders: annual cycle
• Cruise: gradients, dynamic spring period
• Modelling: consequences for C
