GMOS Overarching Objectives
 To provide spatially and temporally distributed Hg speciated
measurements aimed to understand the contribution of source regions
vs. selected receptor areas with changing emission regime and
meteorological conditions.
 To validate regional and global scale atmospheric mercury modelling
systems able to predict the temporal variations and spatial
distributions of ambient concentrations of atmospheric mercury, and Hg
fluxes to and from terrestrial and aquatic receptors.
 To evaluate and identify source-receptor relationships at country
scale and their temporal trends for current and projected scenarios of
mercury emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources.
 To develop interoperable tools to allow the sharing of observations
and models output data produced by GMOS, for the purposes of
research and policy development and implementation as well as
support the achievement of goals of the Societal Benefit Areas (SBA)
established in GEOSS.

The International Framework
 GEO Task HE-02 “Tracking Pollutants” - C1 “Global
Mercury Observation System”
 UNEP Mercury Program – Global Partnership on
Atmospheric Mercury Transport and Fate Research
(UNEP F&T)
 Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air
Pollutants (TF HTAP) under the UNECE-LRTAP
international conventions.
 Regional programs

Key Aspects for GMOS & HE-02











Should provide spatial distribution of observations with regard
to source regions
Should be related to all major compartments
Should provide Hg content in biotic and abiotic matrixes
Should provide direct flux measurements to and from …
Monitoring & analytical methods should be robust and highly
reproducible
All sites must use, to the extent possible, the same SOPs
Should use a common QA/QC protocol/system
Should allow data sharing and data real-time acquisition
Robust data policy
POSSIBLY and in the future should be based on low
investment and running cost monitoring technologies
