Science Meetings
2018 Science Team Meeting
January 16-18, 2018Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, Florida USA
The fourth meeting of the PACE Science Team was held at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in January of 2018. The meeting consisted of a virtual, self-paced segment in which science team members prepared and viewed narrated versions of their presentations in preparation for the meeting, followed by an in-person meeting. The first day focused on the PACE Science Team deliverables and plans for the polarimeters. The second day focused on engineering challenge of PACE as well as the results from Cal/Val concepts. On the final day, subgroups reported on their activities. For many of the presentations, both a narrated video and a PDF of the talk is available.
