Hello everyone  
I am trying to run WRF\_CMAQ online, and I want to use the CAMS global reanalysis (EAC4) for the IC and BCs, is there any tools to convert CAMS data into CMAQ IC and BC or into CMAQ format to use ICON and BCON?  
Regards,  
Sara.

> Hello, Have CMAQ (v5.3.1 and onward) been adapted to use the CAMS global reanalysis (EAC4) for the IC and BCs? If so, how can we use these files? Regards, Matthieu
