FINN emissions

Hello @mguevara!

As we have an underestimation in BrC absorption, which for the biomass is based on the BC and OC emissions, we would like instead of GFAS to use FINN v2.5 emissions (https://www2.acom.ucar.edu/modeling/finn-fire-inventory-ncar), both in global and regional. I have downloaded the emissions for 2017-2018. I understand that there are 3 different speciations, one according to MOZART- T1 chemical mechanism, one to the SAPRC99 chemical mechanism, and one to the GEOS-CHEM mechanism.

  1. Which of 3 we should use? and 2) could you please instruct us on how to use them?

Thanks in advance FYI: @hnavarro @hpetetin @ojorba
