Overview:
===============================================================================

This directory contains the same monthly emission fluxes of global continental
chlorine (pCl and HCl) emissions developed by Bingqing Zhang (Georgia Tech) and
others.

This directory contains data for 2000-2015 but the original data are available
for 1960-2014 from https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/23BRII. 

See also the original README: 1GT_Chlorine_01_01_V1.0.0_info-1.txt.
