Study areas for Dragon projects
 
This map shows the study areas for 13 of the Dragon projects. The Beijing and Qingdao study areas were added in October 2005 as these are the locations for the 2008 Olympic games for which demonstration products, such as air quality, sea state, meteorology, land use and urban heat environment, are being provided.
