[Grad-postdoc-assn] ASP 2017 Summer Colloquium

[Paula Fisher]

*Advanced Study Program (ASP) Summer Colloquium:  **The Interaction of
Precipitation with Orography (IPRO)*

Announcing
a workshop for graduate students held at the National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado.

Motivation:  Precipitation near significant orography has many
climatological, terrestrial and human impacts. Gradients in orographic
height lead to large variations in precipitation, land-surface type,
vegetation and watershed properties. Dramatic flooding events linked to
orography can also impact the local ecosystem and human activity. A
complete understanding of the interactions among all these systems is key
but remains illusive.

Students will experience international speakers with observational and
modeling expertise across the range of the orographic, precipitation
environment. Practical exercises using both the Community Earth System
Model (CESM) and the Weather, Research and Forecasting model (WRF) will
form the foundation for understanding the orographic precipitation
processes in models.  The Advanced Study Program colloquium is intended for
advanced graduate students.

Tutorials and computer-based exercises will provide experience with a broad
range of material, extending across the sub-disciplines of theoretical flow
over orography, observational case studies, simple models, moist physical
processes, the representation of precipitation-orography interactions in
forecast and climate models (WRF and CESM), and the smaller scale
applications community.
