[06-Feb-2024] The PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission will continue and improve NASA's 20-year record of satellite observations of global ocean biology, aerosols, and clouds. PACE will help us better understand how the ocean and atmosphere exchange carbon dioxide, measure key atmospheric variables associated with air quality and Earth's climate, and monitor ocean health, in part by studying phytoplankton, tiny plants and algae that sustain the marine food web.
