README -- Describes contents of the HEMCO/CMIP6/v2019-09 directory
5 Nov 2019

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

This directory contains reprocessed NetCDF files of spatially and temporally resolved
concentrations from CMIP6 [Meinshausen et al 2017].

These files have been processed for use in GEOS-Chem from the original latitudinally-resolved data hosted by the university of Melbourne. This processing has made the files COARDS compliant, expanded concentrations across all longitudes, and sub-selected the years 1750-2014. These files are used by GEOS-Chem/HEMCO to fix concentrations of certain long-lived species in the planetary boundary layer.

Please contact Tomas Sherwen (tomas.sherwen@york.ac.uk) with
any questions or to report any issues about files.
