BRAVO.MexicoMask.generic.1x1  -- Binary punch (bpch) file containing the 
				 mask for the BRAVO Mexican emissions on
				 the GENERIC 1x1 GRID.  

			         Grid boxes where BRAVO emissions exist have
				 a value of 1; other boxes have a value of 0.


BRAVO.CO.generic.1x1          -- File containing BRAVO Mexican emissions of
			         CO [molec/cm2/s] on the GENERIC 1x1 GRID.

BRAVO.NOx.generic.1x1         -- File containing BRAVO Mexican emissions of
			         NOx [molec/cm2/s] on the GENERIC 1x1 GRID.

BRAVO.SO2.generic.1x1         -- File containing BRAVO Mexican emissions of
			         SO2 [molec/cm2/s] on the GENERIC 1x1 GRID.


Notes:
===============================================================================

(1) BRAVO emissions are archived in Bob Yantosca's directory:

        /as/home/ctm/bmy/archive/data/BRAVO_200607

    You can find the original "raw" data, IDL code to translate that to bpch
    format, and related documentation in this directory structure.

  
(2) The GENERIC 1x1 grid has the first box edged on -180 and edged on -90
    (360x180), with no half-polar boxes.  You can generate this grid in IDL by:

	ModelInfo = CTM_TYPE( 'generic', res=1 )
	GridInfo  = CTM_GRID( ModelInfo )
