Atmospheric Hydrocarbons at GEOSummit, Greenland, as Tracers for Climate Change, Air Transport, and Oxidation Chemistry in the Arctic
This study is a contribution to the Arctic Observing Network (AON). It will undertake 4 years of continuous measurements of atmospheric methane, and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC; ethane, ethyne, propane, iso-butane, n-butane, iso-pentane, n-pentane, benzene, toluene) at the Greenland Environmental...
