Recent updates to nested GEOS-Chem

Fixes to Streets emissions for model years 2005 and earlier

This update was tested in the 1-month benchmark simulation v9-01-03f and approved on 17 Feb 2012.

We discovered two bugs in the implementation of Streets emissions for the nested model. These will affect all nested simulations at least through v9-01-02 for model years 2005 and earlier.

1. The nested model was using Streets 2000 emissions for years 2001-2005 instead of Streets 2006 emissions, which the global model has been using since v8-03-01. This will be updated in GEOS-Chem v9-01-03.

2. Streets 2000 anthropogenic emissions include NOx, CO, and SO2 from ships, which leads to double-counting of ship emissions as well as improper treatment of NOx emissions. This problem is described in more detail on the ship emissions page. This will be updated in GEOS-Chem v9-01-03.
