README -- Describes contents of HEMCO/ALD2/v2017-03 28 Mar 2017 GEOS-Chem Support Team geos-chem-support@g.harvard.edu Overview: =============================================================================== This directory contains data for the oceanic emissions of acetaldehyde for GEOS-Chem full-chemistry simulations. Files: =============================================================================== ALD2_seawater.geos.2x25.nc : Seawater concentration of Acetaldehyde as in Millet et al. (2010) Resolution : GEOS-Chem 2 x 2.5 grid (144 x 91) Units : kg/m3 Timestamp : Monthly, 2006 Compression : Level 1 (e.g. nccopy -d1) resp.geos.2x25.nc : Monthly mean heterotrophic respiration fields, used to compute emissions of biogenic ALD2 and EOH. Original data from Brendan Field.
