Mercury (Hg) concentrations and speciation within surface waters of the Arctic Ocean are controlled by a complex set of processes including photochemical and microbial transformations, redox reactions, and air-sea exchange of gaseous and particulate Hg species.

While gas exchange in the open ocean has been modeled as a function of wind speed, the parameterization is problematic in the presence of sea ice, which can physically block gas exchange, as well as reduce fetch and dampen waves. By using measurements of Radon-222 (Rn-222) gas and it parent isotope, Radium-226 (Ra-226), to accurately measure gas exchange velocities (k), the relative impacts of chemical and biological processes on mercury distributions within the surface waters can then be deduced.
