For use in CESM with chemistry, QFED CO2 files are downloaded from NASA
https://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/datashare/iesa/aerosol/emissions/QFED/v2.6r1/0.25/QFED/
and converted to the chemical species needed in different chemical mechanisms (e.g., T1) using emission ratios developed for the FINN2.5 algorithm.

(1) A total of 19 days in 2001 were missing files (due to MODIS availability). Processing used persistence of emissions (i.e. repetition) from 2001-06-14 to fill in the dates 2001-06-15 to 2001-07-03 (2) In 2000, there were two days of spuriously high emissions. We decided to use persistence to correct these as well. |
