Arctic Ocean 2016 - Continuous Measurements of Mercury Species in Air

This dataset contains data collected during the Canadian-Swedish expedition Arctic Ocean 2016. The research cruise took place August through September 2016, using the icebreaker Oden.

Fractionation of oxidized forms of mercury species in air was performed using a Tekran 1130/35 mercury speciation unit. The instrument fractionate oxidized mercury into gaseous oxidized mercury (Hg(II), GOM) and particulate mercury <2.5 um (Hg(II), HgP). Oxidized mercury species in air were measured every 4th hour along the cruise track. Data include: Gaseous elemental mercury and oxidized mercury species in air.
