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

This directory structure contains HEMCO data directory tree.  Each subfolder
contains data files pertaining to a specific atmospheric emissions inventory,
or other relevant data (e.g. concentrations, production/loss, etc.).  

In each subfolder, you will find a README file that describes in great detail
the individual data files contained within.  Data files used by HEMCO are
in COARDS-compliant netCDF format.
