Required files in MEGAN preprocessor

Hi all,
I am using MEGAN to generate biogenic emission for CMAQ. When I try Megan preprocessor, I found two files, DSW.nc and TAS.nc, are needed. Does anyone know what the two files are and where I can download them or how I can generate the files? Thank you!

Best,
Feng

@Xiaofen: We are not so familiar with MEGAN and you should contact the developer (alex.guenther@uci.edu) directly to get the assistant you need.

Thank you a lot! I found the webpage which have some extra data that the main page of MEGAN might not offer. I link it here in case someone needs it as well https://www.acom.ucar.edu/wrf-chem/download.shtml
