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 N 2 -fixation that are required to do so. We present results from a new Atlantic implementation of a coupled ph...
