Grain size, morphometry and mineralogy of airborne input in the Canary basin : evidence of iron particle retention in the mixed layer

SUMMARY: Aeolian dust plays an important role in climate and ocean processes. Particularly, Saharan dust deposition is of importance in the Canary Current due to its content of iron minerals, which are fertilizers of the ocean. In this work, dust particles are characterized mainly by granulometry, m...
