About DAI Portal
DAI Portal is an online climatic and environmental data distribution tool. It was born through collaboration among the following partners:
-
Global Environmental and Climate Change Centre (GEC3) is a cross-disciplinary, multi-university research centre bringing together more than 40 researchers from five Quebec universities (McGill University, Université de Montréal, Université du Québec à Montréal, Université de Sherbrooke, Université Laval) to study processes, modelling and impacts of environmental and climate change.

-
Canadian Climate Change Scenarios Network (CCCSN), part of the Adaptation and Impacts Research Division (AIRD), is Environment Canada's new vehicle for distributing climate change scenarios and adaptation research. It provides both a national perspective on impacts and adaptation as well as a regional perspective. The CCCSN consists of nodes in each region of Canada.

-
Drought Research Initiative (DRI) is a research network that brings together many university and federal/provincial government researchers to better understand the physical characteristics of and processes influencing Canadian Prairie droughts, and to contribute to their better prediction, through a focus on the recent severe drought of 1999 - 2004/05.

- Within this partnership, the Ouranos Consortium on regional climate research and adaptation provided access to the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM).
