Modelling a phytoplankton dichotomy in the eastern Subarctic Pacific : subtitle impact of atmospheric variability, iron surface flux, and life cycle dynamics of the calanoid copepods, Neocalanus spp.

The vertically resolved, process-based, numerical model presented in this work serves to critique a planktonic paradigm of the eastern subarctic Pacific. The modelled phytoplankton consists of a small (< 10 μm) size fraction of low-iron-adapted phytoplankton grazed by microzooplankton and the...
