%X Hg/SO2,  Hg/CO,  NOx/SO2 emission  ratios (ERs) in  the  plume  of  coal  fired  power  plant (CFPP)Lippendorf near   Leipzig   in   Germany   were   determined   within   the   European Tropospheric  Mercury  Experiment  (ETMEP)  aircraft  campaign  in  August  2013.  GOM fraction  of  mercury  emissions  was  also  assessed.,Measured  Hg/SO2 and  Hg/CO  ERs  were within  the  measurement  uncertainties consistent  with  the  ratios  calculated  from  annual,emissions  in  2013  reported  by,the CFPP  operator,  the  NOx/SO2,ER  was  somewhat  lower.,GOM  fraction  of  total  mercury  emissions,  estimated  by  three  independent  methods,  was,~10%  with  an  upper  limit  of  ~25%. This  result  is  consistent  with  findings  by  others  and,suggests  that  GOM  fractions  of  ~40%  of CFPP  mercury  emissions  in current emission inventories are overestimated.
