PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem)

PACE, or Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem, is a NASA mission aimed at understanding the complex interactions between the ocean and atmosphere. It studies how tiny organisms in the ocean, like plankton, affect cloud formation and, by extension, climate. The mission utilizes advanced satellite technology to observe ocean health, aerosol particles, and cloud properties. By exploring these connections, PACE helps scientists learn how changes in our oceans can impact weather patterns and climate change, contributing to a better understanding of Earth's systems and promoting environmental awareness.
