Prof. Shira Raveh-Rubin leads the group of dynamical meteorology in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Her group's research involves the dynamics of weather systems, their large-scale governing mechanisms and dynamical interactions with smaller-scale processes, their impact and predictability. Particularly, they focus on dry intrusion airstreams, Mediterranean weather systems, tropical-extratropical interactions and atmospheric transport. During her stay in Bern, she will study the mechanistic and climatological relation between dry intrusions and convective processes.
