  1. What are the goals of PACE? What science questions address PACE goals? How would PACE address the science questions? Instrument requirements Mission requirements Reports and white papers: ACE IOCCG NRC NASA/TM2011-215883 Strawman instrument Strawman mission Estimated cost

  2. What are the Ocean Goals of PACE? 1-Extend specific heritage Earth system data records of ocean color radiometry (Rrs, Chl) over multiple decadal scales. 2 – Observe new and refine existing global ocean products of ocean ecology, biology, and chemistry required to quantify carbon cycles and ecosystem structure, composition and function and their changes over time. 3 – Improve our understanding of the interactions within ocean ecosystems and between the oceans, land and atmosphere.

  3. Atmosphere Corrections for PACE Present OC atm corrections for MODIS/WiFS/etc Applies to bands 412 to 670 – Goal: LwN to 5% Use NIR bands (assume black pixels) to estimate aerosol model and AOD Subtract aerosol radiance from TOA -> LwN Other corrections: Rayleigh, surface roughness, non-black NIR (SWIR), vicarious calibration Outstanding issues with existing OC atm corrections absorbing aerosols (SSA & vert. profile), poor validation of short wave LwN, requirements on input parameters (O3, H2O, atm press, etc.), accurate source data (MOBY-like), adjacency effects (MTF of the atm),bb

  4. Atmosphere Corrections for PACE What are quantitative requirements for aerosol corrections? UV Atm Corr UV radiance – use 350 as an “anchor” Aerosol type to characterize the “buoyancy” of the “anchor” Extend atm corr into the UV Can we see LwN 360 380 through Rayleigh atm? Modeling study – requirements for ancillary data Aerosol source region and type Future Simultaneous atm/oce retrievals Land atm corr?

  5. What are the science questions? How would PACE address the science questions? What are the instrument requirements? What are the mission requirements?
