Modeling the Impact of Iron and Phosphorus Limitations on Nitrogen Fixation in the Atlantic
Abstract. The overarching goal of this study is to simulate subsurface N * (sensu, Gruber and Sarmiento, 1997; GS97) anomaly patterns in the North Atlantic Ocean and determine the basin wide rates of N2-fixation that are required to do so. We present results from a new Atlantic implementation of a c...
