ACROSS : étudier la chimie atmosphérique dans les milieux forestiers en périphérie de Paris

Highlight

2 novembre 2023

A l’été 2022, PEGASUS a participé à la campagne de mesure du projet ACROSS (Atmospheric Chemistry of the Suburban Forest) pour étudier les interactions entre les composés chimiques relâchés par les activités urbaines de Paris et les forêts environnantes. PEGASUS était basé sur le super-site dans la forêt de Rambouillet, contribué par le LISA et des nombreux partenaires nationaux et internationaux.

ACROSS fait partie de l’initiative Make Our Planet Great Again et vise à mieux comprendre les processus physico-chimiques de l’atmosphère, pour améliorer les capacités de prédictions de la qualité de l’air.

The AEROFOG field campaigns in Namibia

The campaigns of the AEROFOG field projects are ongoing: May on the coast, at the Henties Bay campus of the University of Namibia, and September in the Namib desert at the Gobabeb Namib Research Center. PEGASUS is operated jointly with fog collectors and meteorological measurements to understand the role of aerosols in the formation and […]

Off again, direction Namibia

On monday 4 March, PEGASUS has left again to Namibia. A lot of preparatory work and exciting data ahead in the framework of the Aerosols and fog in southern Africa: processes and impact on biogeochemistry (AEROFOG) project. PEGASUS will be operated on the coast, at the Henties Bay campus of the University of Namibia in […]

What is the role of aerosols in the Namibian fog, and the Namib desert biogeochemistry?

Namibia is characterised by some of the most extreme climate regimes ranging from the cold Benguela Current to the hyper-arid coastal deserts of the Namib region. Fog and low-clouds are typical features, affecting the coast and inland up to about 60-100 km, where they have a higher contribution to the total water volume than rainfall, […]
