Emissions of C 2 ‐C 5 alkanes from the oil and gas sector have resulted in enhanced abundances of these species throughout the Northern Hemisphere troposphere with particularly large enhancements over the central and eastern United States (Tzompa‐Sosa et al, 2019). However, despite the high emission rates of C 2 ‐C 5 alkanes, relatively few studies have examined the contribution of these species to ozone (O 3 ) production at the surface (Edwards et al, 2013; Field et al, 2015; Helmig et al, 2016; Kort et al, 2016; McDuffie et al, 2016; Rappenglück et al, 2014; Tan, 2012).…”
