Arctas_CO2_ship_2008.generic.1x1   -- ARCTAS ship emissions of CO2, CO,
Arctas_CO_ship_2008.generic.1x1       and SO2, in kg/yr.  Data is placed
Arctas_SO2_ship_2008.generic.1x1      on the GENERIC 1x1 grid (no half-polar
                                      boxes, 1st box edged at -180).

This is a composite data set of global emissions developed by David Streets 
and Qiang Zhang (Argonne National Laboratory), with the help of Mian Chin 
(NASA/GSFC), Louisa Emmons (NCAR), and Zig Klimont and Janusz Cofala (IIASA). 
We have tried to include the most recent data available, so that emissions are 
as representative of current emissions as they can be. The purpose of the 
dataset is to support ARCTAS pre-mission planning. Following the mission, 
a second dataset will be prepared for post-mission analysis that provides 
more coordination across species and time and reflects updated calculations 
of emissions in those regions most influencing the Arctic.
