Interactive comment on “Impacts of Large-Scale Circulation on Urban Ambient Concentrations of Gaseous Elemental Mercury in New York, USA” by
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a very interesting manuscript that demonstrates the significant impact of largescale circulation on trace gases in an urban area, especially GEM. This innovative work yields surprising results that show the importance of meteorology and how it can dominate over anthropogenic emission sources; a surprising result to some. Except for a few minor comments, the manuscript is ready for peer review.
