2 Trans-Pacific Transport of Hg Mercury is a global pollutant with yrs atmospheric lifetime (Hg o ) Recent concerns of mercury export from Asian countries (Jaffe et al., 2005, 2007; Kim et al., 2008) Trans-Pacific transport of air pollutants has been identified (Jaffe et al., 2002; HTAP 2007; Fiore et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2009)
3 Key Questions What is the mercury transport budget in the source region (East Asia)? What is the transport pathway? What is the impact of Asian plume on the concentration and deposition in North America? What is the relative importance of foreign vs. local mercury emission?
4 Multiple Model Assessments Box model: evaluating the regional emission contribution to the global Hg background Full chemistry simulation in East Asia: quantifying regional mercury transport budget from East Asia Reactive tracer simulation over the Pacific: HTAP TP1x experiment for Hg tracers Full chemistry simulation over the Pacific: HTAP SR7 experiments (20% anthropogenic mercury emission reduction in EA and NA) & emission zeroout scenarios NA EU SA EA
5 Model and Data Model: CMAQ V4.6 (released Oct. 2006), chemistry codes modified for reactive tracer simulations Modeling period: Year 2001 (SR), Years 2 & 3 (TP1x) Domain: ICAP trans-pacific domain in Lambert Conformal projection covering EA and NA, 108-km spatial resolution Emission Inventory: NOx, VOCs & PM based on NEI99 and modified Trace-P (SRs); Hg inventory by Pacyna (2006), Streets et al. (2005), and HTAP TP1x inventory. Meteorology: ICAP 2001 MM5, model-ready Chemistry: CB-IV/AERO4(SR), 1 st order decay (TP1x) Initial and boundary conditions: re-gridded from GEOS- Chem (SRs) and Mozart (TP1x)

15 Sensitivity cases #1: Base-case EI including anthropogenic & natural/re- emission of mercury #2: Zero out all natural/re- emission #3: Zero out anthropogenic emission in EA #4: Zero out both anthropogenic, and natural/reemission in EA #5: Zero out anthropogenic emission in NA #6: Zero out ALL emissions to study the chemistry forcing on mercury deposition from initial and boundary conditions SR7: 20% emission cut in EA & NA individually*

20 Conclusions Trans-Pacific transport events of Hg identified in 2001 (Mar.-Apr. & Oct.-Nov.), contributing ng/m 3 GEM in NA west coast. The direct impact of EA Hg emissions on deposition in NA is small. However, their contribution to global background can be significant. Local emission can contribute significantly to both dry and wet depositions. Chemistry forcing of out-of-boundary transport (IC/BCs) dominate Hg deposition in NA. The concentration and deposition of mercury in NA is more sensitive to EA anthropogenic emission than NA emission, although the forcing magnitude is small.
