About this award
The University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography has been awarded a $683.6K research grant (22-PACE22_2-0038) by NASA to validate ocean color, biogeochemistry, net primary productivity, and phytoplankton community metrics derived from the PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) satellite mission. The work will leverage data and field observations from the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) program, a long-running collaborative effort between NOAA, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and academic institutions. This validation effort is critical for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of PACE satellite measurements in coastal and open ocean environments. The contract was awarded on March 5, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of March 4, 2028, and the work will be performed at Scripps Institution's location in La Jolla, California. No set-aside designation was used for this award.
This research grant supports UCSD's core mission as a world-leading oceanographic research institution by directly contributing to the validation of NASA's flagship Earth observation mission. The integration of PACE satellite data with the extensive in-situ measurements collected by CalCOFI—which has decades of historical ocean and fisheries data—will enhance the scientific value of the PACE mission and improve our understanding of ocean productivity, phytoplankton dynamics, and their relationship to fisheries management and climate variability. Scripps' expertise in oceanography and marine ecosystem research positions it well to conduct this validation work across the four-year performance period.
