文摘
- •
We quantify spatial and temporal variability of column integrated trace gases.
- •
We compare WRF/Chem trace gas variability with that observed during DISCOVER-AQ.
- •
We relate WRF/Chem variability to the precision requirements (PR) defined for TEMPO.
- •
The TEMPO instrument will resolve O3 air quality events over the US Mid-Atlantic.
- •
TEMPO resolution and PRs are sufficient to answer AQ-relevant science questions.
