Unlocking Ocean Secrets: NASA’s PACE and SWOT Reveal a Hidden World

JPL - One Earth satellite can see plankton that photosynthesize. The other measures water surface height. Together, their data reveals how sea life and the ocean are intertwined.

NASA’s SWOT and PACE missions offer unprecedented insights into the ocean’s role as a climate engine and life-supporting system. By combining SWOT’s physical measurements with PACE’s biological observations, scientists can better understand how ocean dynamics impact marine ecosystems, fisheries, and carbon cycling.
