Dear Sir,

We are a small and modest Meteorology Department which runs under the UAE Air Force and Air Defence. We plan to use RegCM for climate simulation studies over a domain covering the Gulf region and Arabian Peninsula. Unfortunately I do not have much experience using the RegCM, except that I attended a RegCM workshop in 2004 for about 2 weeks.

I appreciate if you guide us about all stages of the modeling approach with the RegCM, including installation and running of the model and managing outputs of the model as well. The main reason we wish to use the RegCM is to establish climate data for any specific location using the ERA-40 dataset and also seasonal forecasting if possible.

Kind regards.
