TL;DR: In this paper, a global 3D simulation with the GEOS-Chem model assuming gas-phase Br to be the sole Hg0 oxidant (Hg + Br model) was conducted and compared to the previous version of the model with OH and ozone as the sole oxidants, and the results showed that the Hg+ Br model is equally capable of reproducing the spatial distribution of TGM and its seasonal cycle at northern mid-latitudes.

TL;DR: This work shows that locally deposited mercury close to coal-fired utilities has declined more rapidly than previously anticipated because of shifts in speciation from air pollution control technology targeted at SO2 and NOx.

TL;DR: In this article, a new mechanism for atmospheric Hg0√√HgII redox chemistry in the GEOS-Chem global model and examine the implications for the global atmospheric HOg budget and deposition patterns.

TL;DR: CARIBIC as mentioned in this paper is a flying observatory for the measurement of atmospheric gases and trace compounds onboard a Boeing 767-300 ER of LTU International Airways during long-distance flights from 1997 to 2002.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new global atmospheric mercury model coupled with a mixed layer slab ocean model is presented, which describes the interactions of the mixed layer with the atmosphere and deep ocean, as well as conversion between elemental, divalent, and nonreactive mercury species.
