weird error when using userdata

Hi,

Thank you for the response to my last problem. I was finally able to get the SCAMgui version running. When I try loading in the global model data everything works fine but it will only time step through one day no matter what end time I input into the time step section. I tried loading the IOP ARM dataset and it seemed to time step through 15 days with no problem but I only asked it to time step through 10 days. The problem I'm having is when I try to load in userdata and I get this weird error and then SCAM automatically quits. This is the error I am getting:

------------------------
metodata5:cam1/models/atm/cam/tools/scam> ./scam Manager::SetDefaults(): No pressfile found in .scam_defaults.
Based on number of model levels, will try ./data/boundary/press26.nc.
ERROR: LoadDataImpl.cpp:141 LoadDlg::SetRunType() - unknown type 10
------------------------

I never modified the .scam_defaults so I don't know why there would be an error.
Here is the .scam_default file:

more .scam_defaults

lsmsurffile="./data/boundary/clms_64x128_USGS_c030605.nc"

Can you please let me know if there's something that should be included in this file?

Also, is there another way to run scam that's not the gui version?

Thank you!

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.

Jiming
