Satellite Direct Readout: Opportunities for Science Education

Abstract

This report describes the technology associated with direct reception and analysis of environmental (weather) satellite data and the opportunities it offers to educators for enhancing mathematics, science, and technology education in the United States. With newly available capabilities, direct readout is applicable to a wide range of environmental assessments, information networking, and modelling applications, in addition to the learning opportunities in K-16 education. This report describes the institutional, technical, and pedagogical obstacles to widespread use of this technology and suggests approaches to overcoming these obstacles.
