How the PACE satellite will transform our understanding of climate and oceans

In a context where environmental challenges require precise and innovative scientific responses, the PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) satellite launched by NASA represents a significant step forward. It aims to provide unprecedented data on the interactions between the oceans, the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems, with a view to understanding the impacts of climate change and improving the management of natural resources. The data will be used to formulate appropriate strategies for tackling global environmental challenges, complementing the SWOT satellite, to be launched in 2023.
