Fig. 7. Total deposition of Mercury in µg Hg/m 2 /year divided into deposition of Reactive Gaseous Mercury, chemically produced
particulate mercury and directly emitted particulate mercury for two different model runs: without depletion (left) and with depletion
(right), and for 8 different localities: Station Nord, Greenland (NOR), Barrow, Alaska (BAR), Alert, Canada (ALE), Thule (THU),
Greenland, Spitzbergen, Norway (SPI), Nuuk area, Greenland (NUU), Faeroe Island (FAE) and Denmark (DEN)
Fig. 8 The total annual average deposition of mercury without Arctic mercury depletion (left) and with (right) in µg Hg/m 2 /year
for the years 1999 and 2000. The total annual deposition north of the polar circle is indicated as well.
