Preferred term

ACE (DECADAL SURVEY)  

Definition

  • [Source: NASA ACE Mission, https://acemission.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] ACE will assist in answering fundamental science questions associated with aerosols, clouds, and ocean ecosystems, by making improved and more comprehensive measurements through the use of innovative and advanced remote sensing technologies. Aerosols measured by ACE include those of both man-made and natural origins, the latter of which is contributed significantly by ocean ecosystems.

  • 2020-01-03 17:14:03.0 [sritz] update Definition ([Source: NASA Earth Science Decadal Survey Studies home page, https://acemission.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] Mission objectives: * Cloud and aerosol height * Organic material in surface ocean layers * Aerosol and cloud types and properties * Improved climate models * Prediction of local climate change * Measure ocean productivity and health * Air-quality models and forecasts ACE is a tier 2 Decadal Survey mission focusing on clouds and aerosols as well as ocean ecosystem. ACE will help to answer emerging fundamental science questions associated with aerosols, clouds, air quality and global ocean ecosystems.
