The Atlantic basin, particularly the North Atlantic, is the most studied of the global oceans, yet there are several important processes and issues remaining to be addressed. Arguably, the most important issue is the paucity of data from the South Atlantic. There have been excellent expeditionary efforts there (i.e., the WOCE sections and the South Atlantic Ventilation Experiment), so the hydrographic system and the nutrient provinces can now be assessed in greater detail. However there has been little focus on processes of the nitrogen cycle in the basin.
