NOAA SATELLITE STATION IH GREECE : 
PROSPECTS OF ESTABLISHING AND USES IN REMOTE SENSING EDUCATION 
In this work on attempt is made to present the possibility of 
establishing a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration) satellite station in Greece. 
For this purpose, reference is made to the charasteristics of 
the NOÀÀ satellites, the physical parameters measured by them and 
hence, the usefulness of such a station. 
A typical satellite station 1b briefly described and its 
operation is explained together with the factors that are 
affecting its various parameters. 
Finally the situation in Greece with respect to Remote Sensing 
is examined, referring specifically to the effects that a NOAA 
station is expected to have on image processing centers and on 
Remote Sensing education, as well as on environmental studies.
