Dear all,

I would like to follow up on the names for gaseous Hg in the atmosphere.

There are three main species of mercury occurring in the atmosphere:
gaseous elemental mercury, gaseous divalent mercury and particulate mercury.

mass_fraction_of_mercury_dry_aerosol_in_air is already accepted

I would like to suggest for the gaseous species:

mole_fraction_of_gaseous_elemental_mercury_in_air
mole_fraction_of_gaseous_divalent_mercury_in_air

Thank you very much for your comments.

Cheers,
Christiane
