Research
Many individual and collective research activities will be carried out within DRI. Information on these activities and their results will be added to this site as DRI proceeds.
Individual Research
- Canadian Lightning Detection Network - ASCII data on all lightning events within the CLDN real-time delivery region (1997-2005) can be made available by contacting John Hanesiak.
- 1st and 2nd Generation Crop Phenology and Water-Use Models - enquiries through Rick Raddatz or Julian Brimelow.
