README -- describes contents of HEMCO/MIX/v2015-03 directory 16 Mar 2015 GEOS-Chem Support Team geos-chem-support@g.harvard.edu Overview =============================================================================== MIX v1.1 Asian anthropogenic emissions for 2008 and 2010 were developed at a resolution of 0.25 x 0.25 degrees. The MIX emissions were prepared by Qiang Zhang and Meng Li from Tsinghua University. For more information about the MIX inventory, please visit this link: http://mix.greenresource.cn/ Notes: =============================================================================== Unit conversions: - The following species were converted from Mg/month in the original files to kg/m2/s: BC, CH4, CO, CO2, N2O, NH3, NMVOC, NO, OC, PM10, PM2.5, SO2 - The following species were converted from atoms C/month in the original files to kgC/m2/s: ACET, ALD2, ALK4, C2H6, C3H8, CH2O, MEK, PRPE - The following species was converted from molec/month in the original file to kg/m2/s: CH2O - NO emissions were obtained from NOx emissions through multiplication with 30/46 (NO/NO2) The 2009 monthly emissions were interpolated from the 2008 and 2010 monthly emissions in order to create continuous 2008-2010 netCDF files for use in HEMCO.

We have [provided] the MIX mask at 0.25 by 0.25 resolution in NetCDF format. Please use this mask for MIX emission processing. Best regards, Meng
