  abstract = {{T}wo model simulations were performed to address the influence of the {I}ndonesian throughflow ({ITF}) on the biogeochemical state of the equatorial {P}acific. {A} simulation where the {ITF} is open is compared with an experiment where it is closed, and it is first shown that the impacts on the physical circulation are consistent with what has been found in previous modelling studies. {I}n terms of biochemistry, closing the {ITF} results in increased iron concentration at the origin of the {E}quatorial {U}ndercurrent ({EUC}). {B}ut the 11{S}v of water otherwise transferred to the {I}ndian {O}cean remain in the equatorial {P}acific, which result in a 30 m deepening of the thermocline/ferricline in the eastern {P}acific. {T}his deepening decreases the iron concentration of the equatorial wind driven upwelled water and cancels the iron increase advected by the {EUC}. {T}he iron decrease of the equatorial upwelled water leads to decrease primary production by 15% along the equator.},
