Files:
------
200001.2x25    :  Files containing monthly emissions data from the RETRO 
200002.2x25       inventory for the following species: ALD2, ALK4, BENZ,
200003.2x25       C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H8, C2HO, HCOOH, MEK, PRPE, TOLU, XYLE.
200004.2x25       Units: atoms C/cm2/s.
200005.2x25     
200006.2x25       The base year for RETRO is 2000.  Data is placed on
200007.2x25       the GEOS-Chem 2 x 2.5 grid (centered on -180, w/ half-size
200008.2x25       polar boxes.
200009.2x25       
200010.2x25       The RETRO emissions were prepared by Wes Reinhart 
200011.2x25       (reinh165@umn.edu).
200012.2x25    

diaginfo.dat   :  GAMAP input files listing the diagnostic categories and
tracerinfo.dat :  information about each tracer.  These have been modified
                  so that you can read the RETRO data files with GAMAP.
