Global 3‐D land‐ocean‐atmosphere model for mercury: Present‐day versus preindustrial cycles and anthropogenic enrichment factors for deposition
We develop a mechanistic representation of land‐atmosphere cycling in a global 3‐D ocean‐
atmosphere model of mercury (GEOS‐Chem). The resulting land‐ocean‐atmosphere model …
