CEDS v2017-08-30/2017-10-05 Aviation emissions with corrected geographical distribution after Thor et al., 2023

The files contain the CEDS aviation emissions (v. 2017-10-05 for SO2 and 2017-08-30 for all others) with corrected geographical distribution, as described by Thor et al. 2023.Accordingly, the emissions have been scaled with two factors:

1) cos(lat)2) a factor (uncorrected emissions / corrected emissions) to yield the same global total emissions in the corrected files. 

The fix has been performed for:BC, NOX, NMVOC, NH3, CO2, SO2, CO and OC
