Science and Applications Team 1
In 2011, NASA selected the PACE Science Definition Team (SDT). Composed of ocean, aerosol, and cloud scientists, the SDT was charged with defining the science content of the mission and working closely with the engineering team to define a mission concept that optimizes science, cost, and risk.
Subsequently, the PACE Science Team was formed. Along with PACE Mission scientists, it included investigators selected through the 2013 NASA Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) process. This team was charged with collaboratively addressing inversion for Inherent Optical Properties (IOPs) and atmospheric characterization, including atmospheric correction.
