The Chemistry of Mercury in the Stratosphere

The Chemistry of Mercury in the Stratosphere

Abstract Mercury, a global contaminant, enters the stratosphere through convective uplift, but its chemical cycling in the stratosphere is unknown. We report the first model of stratospheric mercury chemistry based on a novel photosensitized oxidation mechanism. We find two very distinct Hg chemical...
