Impact/Purpose:
The objective of this research is to improve the understanding of gas phase mercury dry deposition phenomenon. Specifically the objectives will be to:
(1) Develop a scientifically sound first principal gas phase mercury dry deposition model
(2) Develop a direct measurement method(s) for gas phase mercury dry deposition
(3) Conduct gas phase mercury dry deposition model validation
Description:
The Florida Everglades Dry-Deposition Study (FEDDS) was designed to test the viability of using new and existing measurement techniques in the estimation of the dry-depositional loading of speciated mercury (elemental gaseous, reactive gaseous and particulate) to a mixed sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) and cattail (Typha domingensis)stand within the Florida Everglades.
