Abstract Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for all living organisms and its atmospheric supply to the surface waters of marginal seas remains poorly understood. Here we report the seasonal and spatial variability of atmospheric mineral dust deposition and Fe fluxes along the west coast of the Gulf of California (GC). Meteorological data and dust samples were collected from June 2010 to October 2013 at three sites of the eastern side of Baja California Peninsula (BCP). Evidence of an across-BCP wind component (W-E) during the warm season (May–September) was found, suggesting that winds crossing the BCP from west to east were an important source of variability. Coincidently, dust deposition at the northern and center sites were significantly (p
