Files:
===============================================================================

isopemis.table 

  -- Isoprene emissions by Olson land type (cf Wang et al 1998, Bey et al 
     2001).  File is in plain-text format.
 
light.table 
  
  -- Polynomial coefficients for isoprene emissions (cf. Wang et al 1998). 
     File is in plain-text format.
 
monotemis.v4-13.table 

  -- Biogenic emissions of monoterpenes, with emissions from some landtypes 
     modified. File is in plain-text format.
 

NOTES: 
(1) These files are more or less obsolete.  you should use the megan biogenic 
    emissions instead  
(2) These files are grid-independent.
