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.<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">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.  </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">The Advanced Study Program colloquium is intended for advanced graduate students.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">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.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">Colloquium Dates: </span><span class="m_3884100595638514867m_1236206262765417726gmail-aBn" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span class="m_3884100595638514867m_1236206262765417726gmail-aQJ">June 5-16, 2017</span></span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">Application Deadline: </span><span class="m_3884100595638514867m_1236206262765417726gmail-aBn" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span class="m_3884100595638514867m_1236206262765417726gmail-aQJ">February 28, 2017</span></span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">Details: </span><a href="https://asp.ucar.edu/summer-colloquium" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px" target="_blank">ASP Summer Colloquium 2016</a><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">Contact: Diana Zucco, <a href="mailto:zucco@ucar.edu" target="_blank">zucco@ucar.edu</a></span><br clear="all"></div><div><br></div>
