Located on the China-Nepal border, Mt. Cho Oyu is the sixth-highest mountain in the world with an altitude of 8,201 meters. This is the first time Chinese scientists have scaled a peak exceeding 8,000 meters in altitude apart from Mt. Qomolangma, the world's highest summit. The summit ...
This research presents meteorological data recorded between December 2012 and November 2013 at seven stations in Nepal, ranging in elevation from 3860 to 5360m asl. Seasonal and diurnal cycles in air temperature, vapour pressure, incoming short-wave and long-wave radiation, atmospheric transmissivity,...
Only a few stations are there in developing and under developed countries including Nepal to monitor solar radiation and sunshine hoursto generate a rational and accurate solar energy database. In this study, daily global solar radiation, and ubiquitous meteorological data (temperature and relative ...
BLUEWS and BLUMPS allow urban air temperature and relative humidity at the local-scale to be calculated from those measured at meteorological stations located elsewhere (non-urban or other urban areas), and allow prognostic values to be obtained. Here the DR and WR air temperature and relative ...
s largest comprehensive meteorological observation system, which includes seven atmosphere background watch stations, 27 climate observatories, over 70,000 automatic ground meteorological observation stations, 120 upper-air meteorological stations, 242 new-gen weather surveillance radars, and seven in-orbit ...
(MoEF2010; As2010). Average temperature was around 28°C ranging from 24.26 to 29.65 °C, and the average relative humidity was approximately 47% varying from 32.22 to 68.93% during the period, showing a sub-humid, warm and arrival of summer climate for the considered stations, whereas the...
(MOD10A2) for the period 2000–2016. Data for hydro-meteorological parameters was obtained from relevant departments acquired through their field stations. The analysis of 16-year satellite data shows that there is a slight increase in cryospheric area at high altitude. In Astore basin, the ...
Being the first study revealing prevalence of the drought in KRB, it can provide a basis for prioritizing interventions focused on drought management in the region.

In this paper, assessment of meteorological drought and trend detection was carried out using 43-year (1975鈥 2017) monthly rainfall data for all 14 meteorological stations. The standardized precipitation index (SPI) developed by McKee et al. (1993) is used for drought assessment and trend ...
