The ICAP Multi-Model Ensemble is built from the following systems: ECMWF MACC, JMA MASINGAR, NASA GSFC/GMAO, FNMOC/NRL, NOAA NGAC, Barcelona Supercomputing Centre NMMB/BSC-CTM and Met Office Unified Model. The ICAP fine mode AOD is used as a proxy for smoke, and can include fine mode species from anthropogenic sources.
