Benefits of Ace

  • ACE will narrow the uncertainty in aerosol-cloud-precipitation interaction and quantify the role of aerosols in climate change. ACE measurements will help climate modelers make more precise predictions of climate change.
  • ACE will measure the ocean ecosystem changes and precisely quantify ocean carbon uptake.
  • ACE measurements will improve air quality forecasting by determining the height and type of aerosols being transported long distances.
