1) Data format and unit

    ODIAC emission data product is provided in two spatial resolutions: 1) 1x1 km and 2) 1x1 degree.
    The 1x1 km ODIAC emission data files are provided in GeoTIFF format.  Values are provided in 
    the unit of tonne Carbon/cell (monthly total emission).  Note the 1x1 km ODIAC emission files
    only include emissions over land regions, excluding international aviation and marine bunker emissions.
    The 1x1 degree ODIAC emission data files are provided in netCDF format. Values are provided in the unit of 
    gram Carbon/m2/day (monthly mean emissions).
