Fig. 2: Time series of the daily-mean vertically integrated phytoplankton biomass (〈Cp〉; green), daily mean of MLD for the 2 km (black solid) and 20 km MLI+R run (black dotted) averaged over the meridional extent of y = 600–1400 km.

a. The seasonal cycle of the root mean square of vertical velocity spatially averaged over the same meridional extent and over 100 m depth from the 2 km run (\({\overline{{w}^{2}}}^{1/2}\)) is shown in blue, and spatially averaged vertical eddy iron flux (\(w^{\prime} \,\text{Fe}\,^{\prime}\) [μmol Fe m−2 d−1]) at 100 m depth in red. b The spatial median over the top 100 m of growth rate limitation factors due to nutrient (γN; orange) and light (γI; yellow) where the former is due to iron year round in our simulation. The iron concentration (Fe) averaged over the top 100 m is plotted in black against the right axis.
