【 摘 要 】

In this talk we present an overview of the Aerosol-Cloud-Ecosystems (ACE) preformulation studies, a tier-2 satellite mission recommended by the 2007 Decadal Survey. We discuss the current status of ACE measurement concepts and associated retrieval algorithms. We conclude with a brief discussion of the recommendations by the 2017 Decadal Survey and how ACE accomplishments can inform the future Aerosol and Cloud, Convection & Precipitation Designated Observables.
