Abstract: Satellites can provide additional observations during convective operations and potentially fill gaps where sometimes models are the best guess. Satellite products are another form of observations from space, which give another viewpoint on storm initiation, strength, intensity and other various components. In addition, satellites have the capability to create an atmospheric profile (NUCAPS) similar to radiosonde observed soundings. Observed soundings are limited in area and time, so models tend to fill that gap. This presentation presents a few case examples of how satellite products, including NUCAPS, provide additional observations and verification into the convective environment and higher resolution models.
