Description:Observing system assessments were made for the Earth Observing Nanosatellite-Microwave (EON-MW), a 12U CubeSat analog of the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS). Since the EON-MW channels and sensor specifications closely follow those of ATMS, the sensor characteristics and geophysical capabilities assessments indicate that the value of information for humidity (temperature) of EON-MW observations will be similar (very similar) to that of ATMS. Eight global observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) were carried out to evaluate several different EON-MW constellations for data gap mitigation and/or replacement of existing sensors.
