The impact on atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> of iron fertilization induced changes in the ocean's biological pump
Using numerical simulations, we quantify the impact of changes in the ocean's biological pump on the air-sea balance of CO<sub>2</sub> by fertilizing a small surface patch in the high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll region of the eastern tropical Pacific with iron. Decade-long fertilizati...
