Atmospheric particle evolution during a nighttime atmospheric mercury depletion event in sub-Arctic at Kuujjuarapik/Whapmagoostui, Québec, Canada
International audience During a field experiment at Kuujjuarapik/Whapmagoostui (55.31°N, 77.75°W), Québec, we observed increases of concentrations of particles with diameters larger than 0.3 μm in the ambient air during a nighttime atmospheric mercury depletion event (AMDE). These increases were str...
