International audience The overarching goal of this study is to simulate subsurface N* (sensu, Gruber and Sarmiento, 1997) 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 an Atlantic implementation of...
