Description:In the last decade, much work has been done to better understand methane (CH 4) emissions from the oil and gas (O&G) industry in the United States. Ethane (C 2H6), a gas that is co- emitted with thermogenic sources of CH 4, is emitted in the US predominantly by the O&G sector. In this study, we perform an inverse analysis on 200 h of atmospheric boundary layer C 2H6 measurements to estimate C 2H6 emissions from the US O&G sector. Measurements were collected from 2017 to 2019 as part of the Atmospheric Carbon and Transport (ACT) America aircraft campaign and encompass much of the central and eastern United States. We find that for the fall, winter, and spring campaigns, C 2H6 data
