SCAM input data

Hello,

I am trying to run SCAM that comes with CAM 3.1, and have downloaded the T42 input dataset for CAM3.1. However, I found that the following files needed for running SCAM (in .scam_defaults) are not included in this dataset,

ozonfile="./data/boundary/pcmdio3.r8.64x1_L60_clim_c970515.nc"
absemsfile="./data/boundary/abs_ems_factors_fastvx.c030508.nc"
aeropticsfile="./data/boundary/AerosolOptics_c040105.nc'
lsmpftfile="./data/boundary/pft-physiology"

Also, I see some files that are not called by SCAM exist under directory data/atm/cam2/scyc/, for instance:

SOx_emissions_64x128_L2_1870-1871_c040520.nc
DMS_emissions_64x128_c030722.nc
oxid_3d_64x128_L26_c030722.nc

I am quite confused by these input data. Could someone tell me what is going on here and where I can get "right" input data for running SCAM?

Your help is highly appreciated.
