The monitoring of atmospheric mercury species in the Southern Indian Ocean at Amsterdam Island (38°S)
The role of oceans in the global cycle of mercury is still poorly characterized, mainly because of a lack a long-term data on atmospheric mercury concentrations in the remote Southern Ocean. In the frame of GMOS (Global Mercury Observation System), we present here the first results from a new monito...
