03 Dec 2021: LACROS packed and on its way back

On Tuesday we had a small official decommissioning ceremony with the campaign PIs and officials from UMAG. At first Dr. Patric Seifert and Dr. Boris Barja González provided an overview on the achievements of DACAPO-PESO so far.

To quote Patric's conclusion:

"The DACAPO-PESO remote-sensing deployment was a big success and a great example of inter-department and inter-institutional collaboration. The campaign set highlight topics: Contrasting of cloud properties (https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-2021-360) and characterization and monitoring of the smoke plume from the Australian wildfires (https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-20-8003-2020). Another one will be the characterization of the in-situ INP by Xianda Gong et al. Also, there will be further publications cloud and aerosol properties!"

Then we moved to the container site. There, the rector of UMAG Dr. Juan Oyarzo Pérez and the vice rector for postgraduate studies Dr. Andrés Mansilla Muñoz started the very final radiosonde of the campaign together with Patric, Boris, and Raul Pérez. Afterwards the measurements were officially ended by the officials.
