:I have some GEOS-Chem methane updates that I'd like to add to the standard code.
 
:#GFED emissions - I've updated GFED-2 and GFED-3 biomass burning to include methane emissions.
:#Methane simulation - I've updated emissions and error catches to make the simulation compatible with the nested simulation over North America. I added linearized CH4 chemistry from GMI output (CH4 loss frequencies generated by Lee Murray). These changes should be made to the data directory:
 
:::a. Replace Carbon_soil, Carbon_litter, and Wetfrac files in data directory (for all horizontal resolutions)
:::b. Add 2010-2011 TSKIN and GWETTOP files to data directory (for all horizontal resolutions)
:::c. Add nested north american OH files to OH directory
:::d. Add biofuel emissions to data directory (for all horizontal resolutions)
:::e. Add all emission files to data directory for nested North America simulation
 
The [[CH4_simulation#Error_reading_GWETTOP_fields|error in reading GWETTOP fields]] is also fixed in this update.

In RICE_EMIS (global_ch4_mod.F), XTAU is reset to the wrong value when GEWTTOP is read. Kevin Wecht provided a fix that accounts for different availabilities of GEOS-4 and GEOS-5 met fields. Prior to setting FILENAME for GWETTOP , add the following:
