Or Hadas is pursuing a PhD in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science under the supervision of Prof. Yohai Kaspi. His research focuses on mid- latitude storms, which are the main driver of extreme weather outside the tropics and in Israel in particular. Using a wide range of data sources, from atmospheric observations to idealized numerical simulations and advanced data analysis tools, Or is searching for the mechanism underlying two abnormal phenomena in the Earth’s climate: the Pacific midwinter suppression and the hemispheric albedo symmetry. Understanding these phenomena will contribute to our understanding of the interaction between storms and the Earth’s climate and improve our ability to anticipate mid-latitude weather and climate change which have a substantial impact on communities worldwide.
