EOA webinar - 'NASA PACE Mission: exploring Australian data use and applications'

PACE is NASA's Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem mission, currently in the design phase of mission development. It is scheduled to launch in 2024.

PACE will advance the assessment of ocean health by measuring the distribution of phytoplankton, and continue systematic records of key atmospheric variables associated with air quality and Earth's climate. The primary science instruments planned for PACE are the Ocean Colour Instrument (OCI) and Multi-angle Polarimeters.

PACE has two fundamental science goals:

  • To extend key systematic ocean colour, aerosol, and cloud data records for Earth system and climate studies.

  • To address new and emerging science questions using its advanced instruments, surpassing the capabilities of previous and current missions.

Join us for this webinar where we will explore the mission, as well as the Community of Practice and Early Adopters programs designed to support and assist the use of the PACE data products.

Presenters are:

  • Erin Urquhart, PACE Applications Coordinator, Ocean Ecology Lab, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

  • Lachlan McKinna, Director & Lead Oceanographer, Go2Q Pty Ltd
