Keeping PACE with the Oceans | NASA Earth Science Mission

Did you know that we can detect tiny organisms called phytoplankton from space?

These creatures affect the colors of the ocean, and NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud Ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite can see those colors in fine detail. 

Join NASA’s chief scientist Kate Calvin as she explores the PACE mission in depth with oceanographers Ivona Cetinić and Bridget Seegers.
