PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem)
NASA’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud ocean Ecosystem) is an Earth-observing satellite designed to extend NASA’s decades-long observations of the Earth’s oceans and atmosphere. PACE's data is helping us better understand how the ocean and atmosphere exchange carbon dioxide. In addition, it is revealing how aerosols might fuel phytoplankton growth in the surface ocean. Novel uses of PACE data will benefit our economy and society. For example, it will help identify the extent and duration of harmful algal blooms. PACE's cutting-edge technology is pioneering how we take Earth's pulse for decades to come.
