Thanks for response. Basically climate change is my interest particularly Climate Modelling. I am also from the Meteorology Background. How can we develop the climate model in the context of complex topography of Nepal.

I would be happy to speak with you regarding IRI's work on forecasting. I will ask around to see if any of my colleagues have had experience in working on forecasting specifically for Nepal. If you have specific issues you're interested in discussing, please let me know by posting here or via my email (located on my profile page). Looking forward to it!
