running CLM 3.5 with tower data

Hello,

I want to run CLM3.5 with the tower data. I have obtained tower forcing from Dr. Stoeckli. My question is how to create input data (bime, soil type) specific to the tower site. i.e. what changes i need to do in the following name list.

finidat = '$CSMDATA/inidata_3.1/offline/clmi_0000-01-01_064x128_c070403.nc'
fsurdat = '$CSMDATA/surfdata/surfdata_64x128_c070501.nc'
fatmgrid = '$CSMDATA/griddata/griddata_64x128_060829.nc'
fatmlndfrc = '$CSMDATA/griddata/fracdata_64x128_USGS_070110.nc'
fpftcon = '$CSMDATA/pftdata/pft-physiology.c070207'
frivinp_rtm = '$CSMDATA/rtmdata/rdirc.05.061026'

here for example surface data (surfdata_64x128_c070501.nc) is for global run, even if we sepcify lat and long of the particular site, it will not have the same land cover (Biome) as the tower site. Because in the global data set is average or gid cell value.

Or i need to just use these global data set.

If any of you can send me an example *.csh file for building the model for the tower run that would be of great help.

Thanks
Sanjiv
