• Accurate for each individual source (especially for large sources), including variations
• For the same time periods as measurements used for evaluation
• For all forms of mercury

Why do we need atmospheric mercury models?
to get comprehensive source attribution information ...we don’t just want to know how much is depositing at any given location, we also want to know where it came from:
different source regions (local, regional, national, continental, global)different jurisdictions (different states and provinces) anthropogenic vs. natural emissionsdifferent anthropogenic source types (power plants, waste incin., etc)
to estimate deposition over large regions…because deposition fields are highly spatially variable, and one can’t measure everywhere all the time…
to estimate dry deposition... presently, dry deposition can only be estimated via models
to evaluate potential consequences of alternative future emissions scenarios
![Page 109: NOAA Collaborative Mercury Sites · 2006.86 2006.95 2007.03 2007.11 2007.20 2007.28 2007.36 2007.45 2007.53 2007.61 Decimal Year RGM (pg m-3) Sytem 1 System 2 System 3 Nov Dec Jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070100/6007e7b7cac6b7179c314b4a/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Atmospheric models can potentially provide valuable deposition and source-attribution information.
But… models have not been adequately evaluated, so we don’t really know very well how good or bad they are…
Challenges / critical data needs for model evaluation:
Ambient Monitoring Dataspeciated ambient concentrations at a number of different locations, both source-impacted and remote (need RGM and Hg(p), not just total gaseous mercury)
wet deposition
Emissions inventoriescomplete, accurate, speciatedup-to-date (or at least for the same period as measurements)temporal resolution better than annual (e.g., shut-downs, etc)
Atmospheric models can potentially provide valuable deposition and source-attribution information.

many ways to get the “wrong” answer –incorrect emissions, incorrect transport, incorrect chemistry, incorrect 3-D precipitation, incorrect wet-deposition algorithms, etc..
models need ambient air concentrations first, and then if they can get those right, they can try to do wet deposition...

Wet deposition is a very complicated multi-stage phenomena...not ideal for atmospheric mercury model evaluation purposes
