Fig. 1: Comparison between ethane measurements and model simulations.
From: The Red Sea Deep Water is a potent source of atmospheric ethane and propane
Timeline ratios are displayed for both leg 1 (a) and leg 2 (b). In c, geospatial ratio statistics are displayed with the boxplots that illustrate the median with red line and the mean with red squares. The bottom and top edges of the box indicate the 25th (q1) and 75th (q3) percentiles, respectively. The boxplot draws points as outliers if they are greater than q3 + w × (q3 − q1) or less than q1 − w × (q3 − q1). The whiskers correspond to ±2.7σ and 99.3% coverage if the data are normally distributed. In d, geospatial measured volume mixing ratios of ethane are shown with black boxplots where the red circles are the median measured values and the whiskers are defined as in (c). The modeled mixing ratios are in bars for each emission sector.
