NOAA’s Atmospheric Mercury Monitoring in the Gulf of Mexico Region January 17,

 Assemble a long-term, publicly available data record  Discern trends in atmospheric mercury concentrations  Derive dry deposition estimates  Elucidate mercury source-receptor relationships  Establish correlations with meteorology and ancillary trace species to better understand the emission, transport, transformations, and fate of mercury in the atmosphere  Provide a data set for model evaluation In September 2006, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) and the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) established a long-term atmospheric monitoring station for the measurement of speciated mercury compounds and ancillary trace species. The measurements are designed to: 2
