stratOH.geos4.2x25 :  for GEOS-1, GEOS-3, GEOS-4, GEOS-5, and GEOS-STRAT 
stratOH.geoss.2x25 :  2 x 2.5 grids.

Source:
-------
The data was taken from the 2-D (lat, alt) stratospheric model of Hans 
Schnieder and Dylan Jones.  The original data, which comes in bins of
5 degrees latitude and on 36 pressure levels is stored in the file:

        ~bmy/archive/data/stratOH_200203/raw/OH.2d.model.data

and was regridded to GEOS-CHEM 2 x 2.5 and 4 x 5 grids by the IDL code:

        ~bmy/IDL/regrid/regridv_stratoh.pro


Notes:
------
(1) stratOH.geos*.2x25 are read into GEOS-CHEM by routine "schem.f"
