The distributions, sources and role of light hydrocarbons in atmospheric chemistry are not well understood. Highly reactive alkenes appear to have significant oceanic sources, and are almost uniformly distributed around the globe. The global abundance of such highly reactive alkenes as propene provides an opportunity for the study of hydroxyl radical concentrations and their diurnal variation in the marine environment. The moderately reactive light alkanes exhibit significant systematic seasonal variability, and among these propane appears suited to the testing of the hydroxyl radical variability predicted by global models. Additional measurements from the free troposphere will be needed to establish the extent of seasonal trends.
