Ocean iron cycle feedbacks decouple atmospheric CO2 from meridional overturning circulation changes
Abstract The ocean’s Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) brings carbon- and nutrient-rich deep waters to the surface around Antarctica. Limited by light and dissolved iron, photosynthetic microbes incompletely consume these nutrients, the extent of which governs the escape of inorganic carbon i...
