Differential Absorption Lidar Mapping of Atmospheric Atomic Mercury In Italian Geothermal Fields

Edner, H ; Ragnarson, P ; Svanberg, Sune LU ; Wallinder, E ; Deliso, A ; Ferrara, R and Maserti, B. E (1992) In Journal of Geophysical Research 97(D4). p.3779-3786
Abstract
Results from extensive lidar measurements on atmospheric atomic mercury in Italian geothermal fields are reported. A mobile differential absorption lidar system operating on the 254-nm mercury resonance line with a measuring range of about 1 km was used in mineralized as well as nonmineralized areas. Measurements were performed at geothermal power stations and in an unexploited field with natural surface geothermic manifestations. Atomic mercury concentrations ranging from 2 to 1000 ng/m3 were mapped. The high Italian geothermal mercury concentrations are in strong contrast to the recent lidar finding of the absence of atomic mercury in Icelandic geothermal fields.
