Him Kiran Paudel
Atmospheric & Hydrological Researcher | Climate Data Modeler
About Me
I am a researcher specializing in atmospheric and hydrological modeling, with expertise in WRF simulations, precipitation downscaling, and climate data workflows. My work bridges technical rigor with accessible communication, empowering both local and international researchers.
Projects
Deep Learning Downscaling
Developed a U-Net framework to enhance precipitation datasets over Nepal’s mountainous terrain.
WRF Climate Simulations
Simulated precipitation events with WRF, validated against observed data.
Wildfire Forecasting & Projections
Built ML models using GFS forecast data to predict wildfire probability, and estimated future wildfire scenarios under SSP245 and SSP585 climate pathways.
