Descriptiom
  This is a 0.1 x 0.1 degree gridded emission inventory of Mexico's 2015
  anthropogenic methane emissions based on Mexico's National Inventory of
  Greenhouse Gases and Compounds as reported to the United Nations Framework
  Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This dataset includes separate gridded
  inventory files for each emission sector and subsector reported in Mexico's
  national inventory, and we provided further breakdown for oil and gas
  subsectors. Emissions are allocated using a collection of national datasets,
  resolving municipalities and point sources. (2020-08-20)

Notes
  There is a netCDF file for each emission sector. Each netCDF contains gridded
  variables for (1) total sector emissions with the extension "_total",
  (2) corresponding subsector and source type emissions, and (3) latitude and
  longitude. All gridded variables are at 0.1 x 0.1 degree resolution with the
  latitude and longitude points referencing the center of each grid cell. Codes
  used to represent sectors, subsectors, and source types follow the definitions
  in Mexico's national inventory and the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National
  Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
