DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we welcome Dr. Alison Nugent from NCAR\, for 
 a seminar titled 'Orographic Effects in the Tropics: Wind Speed Control an
 d a Tropical Storm Case Study'.Coffee will be served.\n\nAbstract\n\nMount
 ains around the globe control precipitation patterns and water resources. 
 Here the focus is on understanding orographic precipitation in the tropics
  over the small island of Dominica. An aircraft dataset from the Dominica 
 Experiment (DOMEX) which took place in the eastern Caribbean is utilized. 
 The aircraft measured upstream and downstream airflow properties as well a
 s the convective clouds and precipitation over the island. These flight da
 ta along with an idealized numerical model are used to understand the role
  of wind speed in controlling the transition from thermally to mechanicall
 y forced orographic convection.\n\nIn the second part of the presentation\
 , the orographic effects of Dominica on Tropical Storm Erika will be explo
 red. Erika was a weak tropical storm in a sheared environment that passed 
 through the Lesser Antilles on August 27th of 2015. Rain gauges on Dominic
 a measured almost 20 inches of rain in less than 12 hours. Observations an
 d a numerical model are used to investigate the tropical storm structure a
 nd storm environment\, the effect of Dominica's orography\, and other aspe
 cts that played a role in the heavy precipitation. Results highlight the m
 ulti-scale interactions that can contribute to heavy precipitation associa
 ted with tropical cyclone passage near mountainous islands.\n
