Short summary
Many gases formed and destroyed in the ocean influence climate and air quality, with evidence that these processes also happen in the skin of the ocean. Studies of this thin upper layer use specialized sampling equipment, which is known to cause losses of the gases. We performed lab experiments to quantify these losses for three gases and found that 13 % remain after sampling. With further tests, our results can be used to obtain reliable gas measurements in the field, which have been elusive.
