Table 1.

Abundance (ppbv) of major volatile organic compounds (VOCs) measured at Toolik Field Station (TFS) in early summer 2019. Data have been filtered for stagnant air and local pollution influences from the field station (see text). An extended table containing the full mass spectrum of all identified PTR-ToF masses is provided in Table S1.
