More research-based climate modelling underscored
Meteorological scientists began a two-day seminar here on Wednesday emphasising the need for more research-based climate modelling through the SAARC Meteorological Research Centre (SMRC) to cope with climate change. SAARC member states are incurring losses of millions of dollars every year due to frequent meteorological catastrophes such as tropical cyclones, storm surges, severe thunderstorms and nor'westers, they said. They observed that regional cooperation among the SAARC member states must be strengthened utilising respective resources to face the climate change.
