Solar absorption spectra near 2967 cm⁻¹ recorded by a ground-based FTIR with a high spectral resolution of 0.0035 cm^-1 are applied to retrieve C₃H₈ columns for the first time in Xianghe, China, within the NDACC-IRWG. The mean and standard deviation of the C₃H₈ columns are 1.80 ± 0.81 (1σ) × 10¹⁵ molec. cm^-2. Good correlations are found between C₃H₈ and other non-methane hydrocarbons, such as C₂H₆ (R = 0.84) and C₂H₂ (R = 0.79), as well as between C₃H₈ and CO (R = 0.72).
