Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), among them non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) and low molecular weight carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones), affect the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere and thus pollutant lifetimes and global climate. VOCs in the surface oceans may be transported into, or...
