The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission will launch in January 2024, extending and improving NASA’s global satellite observations in its eponymous domains. PACE’s hyperspectral Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) will offer daily near-global spatial coverage with a 1.2 km horizontal pixel size at the subsatellite point. PACE will also have two multi-angle polarimeters (HARP2 and SPEXone) capable of advanced atmospheric characterization. Validation of cloud retrievals is challenging. Here we evaluate liquid water path (LWP) from MODIS from the standard (MOD06) product. The same cloud optical properties retrieval algorithm will be applied to OCI data. This will allow us to understand the expected performance of this algorithm and to develop the processing and analysis code needed to evaluate PACE data. Please tell us what you think and if we should be doing something differently!
