Short summary
Based in the Mauritanian upwelling system, the article describes a Lagrangian study of biogeochemical processes within a freshly upwelled body of water as it advects offshore. We report rates of primary production, nitrogen assimilation, and regeneration and describe how these processes relate to the dynamics of the upwelling regime. This system is perhaps the least studied of the four major eastern boundary upwelling systems and so these measurements provide important new insights.
