  abstract = {{D}ust deposition is extremely variable over all timescales. {Y}et the impact of this variability on ocean biogeochemistry is currently not known, at least on the global scale. {H}ere, we force a global model of ocean biogeochemistry over 1996 to 2001 with daily fields of dust deposition simulated by an atmospheric aerosol model. {O}ur model results suggest that dust deposition explains a large part of the temporal variability of surface iron in the tropical regions and in part of the subarctic {P}acific. {H}owever, while dust deposition is dominated by daily events, its impact on surface iron is maximal on interannual timescales. {T}he largest fluctuations of surface iron produced by dust occur in oligotrophic regions where phytoplankton growth is not primarily controlled by iron availability. {C}onsequently, the variability of surface chlorophyll induced by aerosol iron is predicted to be very small everywhere, especially relative to the impact of the ocean dynamics.},
