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 to the atmosphere during both meteorological winter and summer. There is pronounced seasonality in the MEK profiles in the extratropical troposphere, with higher MEK mixing ratios observed in summer than in winter. MEK in clean air over the remote oceans correlates with both acetone and acetaldehyde, whose primary sources in the ocean water are the photooxidation of organic material. We show that even a small (>1 nM) concentration of MEK in surface waters is sufficient allow the ocean to be a net source of MEK to the atmosphere over ocean basins across multiple seasons.
