  2. The International Framework • GEO Task He-09-02d “Global Observation System for Mercury” • UNEP Mercury Program – Global Partnership on Atmospheric Mercury Transport and Fate Research (F&T) • Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollutants (TF HTAP) under the UNECE-LRTAP conventions.

  6. GMOS Objectives • To establish a Global Observation System for Mercury able to provide ambient concentrations and deposition fluxes of mercury species around the world, by combining observations from permanent ground-based stations, and from oceanographic and tropospheric measurement campaigns. • To validate regional and global scale atmospheric mercury modelling systems ableto 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 observational and models output data produced by GMOS, for the purposes of research and policy development and implementation as well as at enabling societal benefits of Earth observations, including advances in scientific understanding in the nine Societal Benefit Areas (SBA) established in GEOSS.
