Measurements of carbonyl compounds around the Arabian Peninsula from June to August 2017 Nijing Wang, Achim Edtbauer, and Jonathan Williams https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3974228
Short summary
Carbonyl compounds were measured on a ship travelling around the Arabian Peninsula in summer 2017, crossing both highly polluted and extremely clean regions of the marine boundary layer. We investigated the sources and sinks of carbonyls. The results from a global model showed a significant model underestimation for acetaldehyde, a molecule that can influence regional air chemistry. By adding a diurnal oceanic source, the model estimation was highly improved.
