Current Projects
PACE OCI Terrestrial Products
Remote Sensing
The abundance of terrestrial data PACE will collect ensures the need for terrestrial remote sensing products, including surface reflectance, vegetation indices, and more. These algorithms will allow the community to make use of PACE OCI data and provide continuity between other remote sensing missions.
