PACE Earth Scientists Take to Sea and Air (Really High Air) | NASA

One of NASA’s most expansive and complex field campaigns took place during September 2024. 
The goal: to check the data that the new PACE satellite is collecting from orbit about Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. To do that, NASA’s PACE-PAX (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem mission Postlaunch Airborne eXperiment) deployed several aircraft and ships from multiple locations in California, including Marina, Santa Barbara, and NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards.
