TL;DR

NASA has launched the PACE satellite to study the world’s oceans and atmosphere, aiming to provide detailed data on temperature-related changes, aerosols, and phytoplankton. The satellite will map the entire world each day with two science instruments and collect monthly measurements with a third instrument. PACE is expected to help scientists improve their ability to predict severe weather events and understand the impact of aerosols on clouds and climate. The mission follows the recent launch of NASA’s SWOT satellite and is part of the agency's efforts to gather more detailed data on Earth's environment.
