The Hindu Kush Himalayan region is a global hotspot for climate change and highly vulnerable to its direct and indirect impacts. Understanding people’s perception of climate change is crucial for effective adaptation strategies. We conducted a study by using quantitative (Household survey, n = 660) and qualitative data collection tools (Focus group...
Sub‐seasonal to seasonal (S2S) prediction provides an extended range of lead time for decision‐makers across multiple sectors. S2S forecast is crucial for a country that are susceptible to hydro‐meteorological disasters like Nepal. However, S2S forecast requires assessment with reliable datasets before its application. Since, Nepal lacks a dense st...
Container‐breeding Aedes spp. (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes can be surveilled at low cost using ovitraps. Hence, this method is a preferred monitoring approach of dengue vectors in low‐resource settings. The ovitraps consist of a cup filled with water and an oviposition substrate for female mosquitoes. The attractiveness of the substrates for fem...
The credibility of 38 global climate models (GCMs) participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) is assessed to simulate the spatiotemporal variability of the summer monsoon season (SMS) precipitation over the central Himalayas in and around Nepal in the present climate (1971−2000). The evolution of precipitation during...
