Measurements of C2-C5 Hydrocarbons Over the North Atlantic

Latitudinal distributions of ethane, propane, propene, and acetylene in air over the Atlantic from 48°N to 4°S are reported. In addition, measurements of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons (C2-C5) at low latitudes and from 55°N to 80°N are presented. The mixing ratios of ethane, propane, and ace...
