Evidence for an Oceanic Source of Methyl Ethyl Ketone to the Atmosphere

Evidence for an Oceanic Source of Methyl Ethyl Ketone to the Atmosphere

Abstract Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is a relatively abundant but understudied oxygenated volatile organic compound that can serve as a source of both HOx and PAN when photooxidized. We use aircraft observations of MEK from the remote marine troposphere to show that the ocean serves as a source of MEK...
