NASA satellite to help with algae and hurricane forecasting (Video)
==========

NASA's PACE satellite will study phytoplankton and Saharan dust to aid in algae and hurricane forecasting. The satellite's mission is to provide data on the distribution and abundance of phytoplankton, which are microscopic plants that form the base of the marine food chain. It will also monitor the transport of Saharan dust, which can affect air quality and contribute to harmful algal blooms. The PACE satellite is scheduled to launch in 2023 and will be equipped with instruments to measure ocean color, aerosols, and clouds. The data collected will help scientists better understand the dynamics of phytoplankton and their role in the Earth's climate system, as well as improve predictions of harmful algal blooms and hurricane intensity. The satellite's findings will be valuable for coastal communities, fisheries, and ecosystem management.
