Comments on EMISSION RATIO differences:	Anthropogenic emissions over US change slightly because of the change from hourly NEI2011 emissions to monthly mean NEI2011 emissions. ACET ocean source decreases slightly from the fix for acetone parameterization in hcox_seaflux_mod.F90
Additional or summary comments:	We also performed an identical v11-02a benchmark, having compiled GEOS-Chem with gfortran 6.2.0. We obtained essentially identical results to the benchmark reported in this table, which used ifort 11.1.069 to compile GEOS-Chem.
