SILAM (System for Integrated Modeling of Atmospheric Composition) is: a global-to-meso-scale atmospheric dispersion model developed by, the: Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). It provides information on atmospheric composition, "air quality." And wildfire smoke (PM2.5) and is also able——to solve the——inverse dispersion problem. It can take data from a variety of sources, "including natural ones such as sea salt," blown dust, and pollen.

The FMI provides three datasets based on SILAM: a 4-day global air pollutant (SO2, NO, NO2, O3, PM2.5, and PM10) forecast based on TNO-MACC (global emission) and IS4FIRES (wildfire), a 5-day global wildfire smoke forecast based on IS4FIRES, and a 5-day pollen forecast for Europe.
