<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Environmental data from satellites have become critically important to the delivery of accurate weather forecasts for the nation. This criticality
 has become so significant that potential gap in satellite environmental observations are expected to diminish the quality of the nation&#8217;s events. The NOAA Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Program has designed a project focused on &#8220;Sensing Hazards with Operational
 Unmanned Technology&#8221; (SHOUT) to quantify the influence of UAS environmental data to high impact weather prediction and assess the operational effectiveness of UAS environmental data to high impact weather prediction and assess the operational effectiveness
 of UAS to help mitigate the risk of satellite observing gaps. Although environmental data collected by UAS cannot completely replace the global coverage of satellite data, the long endurance and long range of a Global Hawk UAS does provide new capabilities
 to reach and stay with high impact weather events.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">In order to quantitatively evaluate the benefits of UAS data on mitigating a satellite gap, both Observing System Experiments (OSEs) and Observing
 System Simulations Experiments (OSSEs) are necessary. OSEs allow the evaluation of real data but cannot be used to analyze the impact of future observing systems.&nbsp; On the other hand, OSSEs provide a rigorous, cost-effective approach to evaluate the potential
 impact of new observing systems and alternate deployments of existing systems, and to optimize observing strategies. They are also used to prepare for the assimilation of new types of data, and to optimize the assimilation of existing data. OSSEs are an extension
 of OSEs, which use data denial experiments to determine the impact of existing observing systems. Atmospheric OSSEs determine the impact of new systems by performing data denial experiments that assimilate synthetic observations simulated from a realistic
 Nature Run (NR) stipulated to represent the &#8220;true&#8221; atmosphere.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
