Dear all,

I have some updates on the mercury variables:

mercury_0 is elemental mercury in the gas phase,
mercury_2 is oxidised mercury in the gas phase,
mercury_aerosol is mercury emitted from antrhopogenic sources associated
with particulate matter.

I proprose for the mercure variables:

surface_emission_mass_flux_of_mercury
surface_emission_mass_flux_of_mercury_2
surface_emission_mass_flux_of_mercury_aerosol

surface_dry_deposition_mass_flux_of_mercury
surface_dry_deposition_mass_flux_of_mercury_2
surface_dry_deposition_mass_flux_of_mercury_aerosol

surface_wet_deposition_mass_flux_of_mercury
surface_wet_deposition_mass_flux_of_mercury_2
surface_wet_deposition_mass_flux_of_mercury_aerosol

mole_fraction_of_mercury_in_air 1=mole mole-1
mole_fraction_of_mercury_2_in_air 1=mole mole-1
mass_fraction_of_mercury_aerosol_in_air 1=kg kg-1

I am not sure if the expression mercury_2 is allowed in CF, it might be
better to use mercury_in_oxidation_state_2 or some thing like this?


Best regards,
Christiane
