Advancing Ocean Science with "Trailblazing" PACE Mission

USF News -  From the air to sea, small things can have big impacts on our planet.
Aquatic microorganisms known as phytoplankton serve as photosynthesizing powerhouses, producing more than half of Earth’s oxygen. Aerosols — often-invisible particles suspended in the atmosphere — can have significant influence on Earth’s climate, weather, public health, and ecology.

Maryland Team on NASA Project to Examine Ocean, Atmosphere

The Baltimore Banner -  To better understand the ocean surface, NASA scientists went to the stars.
The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite launched into orbit on Feb. 8 on a quest to better understand the microscopic content of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans.
“This mission is really the search for the invisible,” NASA Project Scientist Jeremy Werdell told Capital News Service.

Earth Day Media Briefing: NASA Unveils New Elements of Climate Research

NASA - Live from our Headquarters in Washington, we’re hosting a media briefing ahead of Earth Day 2024 to share information about NASA's climate research. We'll discuss new airborne science flights, our latest Earth science strategy, and to share data from our newest Earth-observing satellite, PACE, which stands for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and Ocean Ecosystem.

NASA Studies Earth's Oceans and Atmosphere with New PACE Satellite

WBAY -  GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Monday marks the annual observance of Earth Day, a day dedicated to our big blue marble was inspired in part by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson back in 1969 and first observed on April 22, 1970.
NASA is beginning to bring in information from this satellite, PACE, which was launched just two months ago. PACE stands for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and Ocean Ecosystem and it was designed to detect particles in the ocean and air to help understand climate change.

NASA Invites Media for Climate Update, New Earth Missions

NASA - In anticipation of Earth Day, NASA invites media to a briefing at the agency’s headquarters on Friday, April 19, at 11 a.m. EDT. The event will share updates on NASA’s climate science and early data from the agency’s ocean-watching PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission, as well as reveal upcoming Earth airborne missions.

NASA's Near Space Network Enables PACE Climate Mission to Phone Home

NASA - The PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission has delivered its first operational data back to researchers, a feat made possible in part by innovative, data-storing technology from NASA’s Near Space Network, which introduced two key enhancements for PACE and other upcoming science missions.
