  abstract = {{S}ince 1980, atmospheric pollutants in {S}outh {A}sia and {I}ndia have dramatically increased in response to industrialization and agricultural development, enhancing the atmospheric deposition of anthropogenic nitrogen in the northern {I}ndian {O}cean and potentially promoting primary productivity. {C}oncurrently, ocean warming has increased stratification and limited the supply of nutrients supporting primary productivity. {H}ere, we examine the biogeochemical consequences of increasing anthropogenic atmospheric nitrogen deposition and contrast them with the counteracting effect of warming, using a regional ocean biogeochemical model of the northern {I}ndian {O}cean forced with atmospheric nitrogen deposition derived from an {E}arth {S}ystem {M}odel. {O}ur results suggest that the 60% recent increase in anthropogenic nitrogen deposition over the northern {I}ndian {O}cean provided external reactive nitrogen that only weakly enhanced primary production (+10 mg {C}.m-2.d-1.yr-1 in regions of intense deposition) and secondary production (+4 mg {C}.m-2.d-1.yr-1). {H}owever, we find that locally this enhancement can significantly offset the declining trend in primary production over the last four decades in the central {A}rabian {S}ea and western {B}ay of {B}engal, whose magnitude are up to -20 and -10 mg {C}.m-2.d-1.yr-1 respectively.},
