After a long journey to Namibia, the PEGASUS mobile platform has finally returned to Créteil.

 

PEGASUS was at the heart of the two observation campaigns carried out on the coast and in the Namib desert in May and September 2024 as part of the AEROFOG project. Thanks to the mobilization of LISA researchers and engineers, PEGASUS recorded valuable and unique data on the physico-chemical and optical properties of the region's characteristic natural and anthropogenic aerosols, enabling us to understand the formation, lifespan and chemical composition of fog, the essential element for the survival of ecosystems in Namibia's hyperarid environments.
