  abstract = {{CO}2 evasion within the {A}tlantic equatorial belt (5°{N}-5°{S}) increases from the {E}ast to the {W}est ({A}ndri{\'e} et al., 1986). {M}any factors contribute the variations of p{CO}2 in the equatorial surface waters. {T}o assess their relative importance, a kinematic box model is developed. {A} 2° x 2° box whose depth is defined by the 24.90 °/°° isopcynal level flows westward from 4°{W} to 38°{W} within the {E}quator-2°{S} band with the south equatorial current. {T}ime (zonal) evolution of nitrate, total {CO}2, total alkalinity and mass, and of the corresponding water p{CO}2, are simulated taking into account advection, meridional divergence, diffusion, biological activity and gas exchange. {I}nitial and boundary conditions are taken from the {FOCAL} 4 ({J}uly-{A}ugust 1983) data set},
