“…Moreover, the most significant inputs of eolian dusts in the North Atlantic are observed at much lower latitudes [ Moreno et al , 2002; Watkins and Maher , 2003]. The remaining possible transport vectors of the basaltic fraction are either the near‐bottom currents associated with the different branches of the North Atlantic Deep Water [ Fagel et al , 1996; Fagel and Hillaire‐Marcel , 1997; Gehrke et al , 1996; Revel et al , 1996; Moros et al , 1997; Rasmussen et al , 1998; Kissel et al , 1999a] or the vertical advection by iceberg melting [ Robinson et al , 1995; Stoner et al , 1996; Watkins and Maher , 2003].…”
