POET_EOH.geos.2x25.nc      : Anthropogenic emissions of ethanol from the POET
                             inventory (Olivier et al., 2003; Granier et al.,
			     2005). POET provides unspeciated emission estimates
			     for >C1 aldehydes and alcohols, and we assume that
			     acetaldehyde and ethanol account for 75% of these
			     respective categories.
