  • Abstract
    A description is given of current National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) programs involving Landsat as well as the METSAT polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites. These include the use of NOAA satellites as data collection platforms and the use of NOAA satellite radiometers in monitoring meteorologic, oceanographic, hydrologic, and agricultural phenomena. Configuration of the next generation of NOAA satellite sensors and spacecraft is included along with a final section on research directions and results.
