Off Uruguay, PACE Partners Connect Data from Satellite and Sea - NASA Science
- PVST-PBR team collected surface ocean measurements off Uruguay to validate the PACE instrument during satellite overpasses.
- Researchers measured particulate organic carbon and phytoplankton pigments to support PACE validation and SPARC needs.
- The Falkor (too) hosted continuous flow-through seawater analysis for in situ measurements during the fieldwork.
- SPARC collaboration included collecting archaea samples from water and sediment for genomic context.
- Fieldwork supported satellite validation times and produced data exchanges with SPARC for future analysis.
- Researchers used a remotely operated vehicle to study seafloor sediments for microbial community analysis.
- The field campaign occurred from mid-November to early December 2025 aboard Falkor (too) off Uruguay.
- PVST-PBR team collaborates with SPARC to study archaea and their relation to eukaryotic origins.
- Data exchanges with SPARC continue as samples are processed for ongoing analysis.
- The expedition produced a set of measurements aligned with satellite overpass timings for validation goals.
