Description:
On the spatio-temporal representativeness of observations Nick Schutgens, Svetlana Tsyro, Ed Gryspeerdt, Daisuke Goto, Natalie Weigum, Michael Schulz, and Philip Stier Atmos. Chem. Phys. Discuss., doi:10.5194/acp-2017-149,2017 Manuscript under review for ACP (discussion: open, 0 comments) Using high-resolution simulations, we estimate representativeness errors on time-scales of hours to a year and length-scales of 50 to 200 km for a variety of observing systems (in-situ or remote sensing ground sites, satellites with imagers or LIDARs, etc) and show how to reduce them. This study is relevant to the use of observations in constructing satellite L3 products, observational inter comparison and model evaluation.
