   These files contain CO2 emission and uptake (flux) fields for the 
   GEOS-Chem v10-01 and newer CO2 simulation.  The files are in netCDF 
   COARDS format for compatibility with HEMCO and are typically saved at 
   their native resolution.

   The HEMCO_Config_CO2 file and the GEOS-Chem Carbon Cycle Working Group 
   wiki page provide information on specific fluxes.
