Cobalt is a nutrient to phytoplankton, but knowledge about its biogeochemical cycling 35 is limited, especially in the Pacific Ocean. Here, we report sections of dissolved cobalt and labile 36 cobalt from the US GEOTRACES GP16 transect in the South Pacific. The cobalt distribution is 37 closely tied to the extent and intensity of the oxygen minimum zone in the eastern South Pacific 38 with highest concentrations measured at the oxycline near the Peru margin. Below 200 m, 39 remineralization and circulation produce an inverse relationship between cobalt and dissolved 40 oxygen that extends throughout the basin. Within the oxygen minimum zone, elevated 41 concentrations of labile cobalt are generated by input from coastal sources and reduced 42 scavenging at low O2. As these high cobalt waters are upwelled and advected offshore, 43 phytoplankton export returns cobalt to low-oxygen water masses underneath. West of the Peru 44 upwelling region, dissolved cobalt is less than 10 pM in the euphotic zone and strongly bound by 45 organic ligands. Because the cobalt nutricline within the South Pacific gyre is deeper than 46 oligotrophic regions in the North and South Atlantic, cobalt involved in sustaining phytoplankton 47 productivity in the gyre is heavily recycled and ultimately arrives from lateral transport of 48 upwelled waters from the eastern margin. In contrast to large coastal inputs, hydrothermal vents 49 along the Eastern Pacific Rise appear to be a minor source of cobalt. Overall, these results 50 demonstrate that oxygen biogeochemistry exerts a strong influence on cobalt cycling. 51 52
