NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) project, poised for a February 2024 launch, marks a substantial advancement in our understanding of Earth’s linked atmospheric and marine systems amidst a changing climate. The goal of this Earth-observing satellite is to expand our understanding of atmospheric and oceanic conditions, which will help us better understand the intricate processes of climate change. PACE’s main purpose is to measure phytoplankton distribution in order to determine the health of the ocean. These microscopic algae and plant-like creatures are essential to the maintenance of marine food webs. PACE’s broad phytoplankton monitoring capabilities contribute to a … Continue reading NASA’s PACE Mission Prepares for 2024 Launch: A Milestone in Climate and Ocean Monitoring
