Hi Folks, I just wanted to report back that IMD was surprisingly easy. A specific email request (in their specified format) got a response with a price quote in a week. And two weeks after I sent a draft (DD), I got the data by email. Haven't explored it yet, but looks promising - from 1906 for many stations. Cheers Robin PS. Other researchers & plantations have still not responded with data :)
