file structure: lookup_tables/<date>/<hemisphere>/<lut_file>

<date>         = 01_01_2011, 01_04_2011, 01_07_2011, 01_10_2011, 21_08_2021, 23_08_2022
<hemisphere>     = SH (souther hemisphere), NH (northern hemisphere)
<lut_file>     = lookup_table_<tracer>_<hemisphere>_<date>.csv

<tracer>    =
SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride, unit: pptV),
F11 (CFC-11, trichlorofluoromethane, unit: pptV),
F12 (CFC-12, dichlorodifluoromethane, unit: pptV),
N2O (nitrous oxide, unit: ppbV),
F22 (HCFC-22, chlorodifluoromethane, unit: pptV),
CH4 (Methane, unit: ppmV)

variables in <lut_file> =
vmr: tracer mixing ratio (see <tracer> for unit),
aoa: actual mean age of air of CLaMS model (years), 
meas_err: uncertainty of aoa due to measurement uncertainty estimation (years), 
mod_var: uncertainty of aoa due to variability of the model (years)
