Early Adopters

The PACE Early Adopter program promotes applied science and applications research designed to scale and integrate PACE data into policy, business, and management activities that benefit society and inform decision making.

Who are Early Adopters?

PACE Early Adopters are groups and individuals who:

Have a direct, clearly-defined need for PACE ocean color, aerosol, cloud or polarimetry data;
Have an existing application or new ideas for novel PACE-related applications;
Currently work with application end user(s) and can describe their decision-making process;
Have an interest in utilizing a proposed PACE product; and
Can apply their own resources (personnel, tools, funding, facilities, etc.) to demonstrate the utility of PACE data for their particular system or model.

What are the Benefits of Becoming an Early Adopter?

Opportunities to engage with the PACE Project
Interaction with other members of the Early Adopter team
Participation in PACE Applications Program workshops, focus sessions, and tutorials events
Access to pre-launch simulated and proxy PACE data
Updates on the PACE mission, science data products, and field campaigns
