“…The detail of the principle of the Tekran Hg analyzer can be found in Munthe et al (2001), Ebinghaus et al (2002) and Weiss-Penzias et al (2003. The Tekran Hg analyzer was installed inside the same laboratory and the ambient air was delivered via a Teflon tube.…”

“…Thus, in this paper we refer to the species measured by the Tekran analyzer as gaseous elemental mercury. Previous studies comparing the performance of the Tekran analyzer to other methods are given by Schroeder et al [1995aSchroeder et al [ , 1995b, Ebinghaus et al [1999] and Munthe et al [2001].…”

[1] Measurements of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) were made in three locations in Canada at altitudes from 0.1 to 7 km. In the summer in southeastern Canada, northwesterly winds bring air with a constant mixing ratio of GEM at altitudes up to 7 km, with a concentration near 1.5 nanograms per standard cubic meter of air (ng sm À3 ). In the winter in southern and central Ontario the mixing ratio is still approximately constant with altitude, but the concentration is 1.7 ng sm À3 . In the spring in the Arctic the concentration of gaseous elemental mercury at altitudes above 1 km is near 1.7 ng sm À3 ; however, there is evidence of episodic depletion of elemental mercury near the surface with mixing of depleted air to altitudes of 1 km. Measurements of GEM in cloud interstitial air and of mercury in cloud water indicate that the influence of a single cycling of air through cloud has little effect on the concentration of GEM. The GEM in air masses transported over the relatively unpopulated terrain of northern Canada during the summer indicates a lower limit of 5000 ng m À2 for an atmospheric column from the surface to 5 km. This gives a global burden of at least 2500 t for that altitude range. These data demonstrate the existence of a vast pool of mercury aloft, provide evidence for a long atmospheric lifetime, and illustrate the potential for long-range atmospheric transport of this metal at altitudes up to at least 7 km.
