site data and global modeling • global modeling is done on +100km scales • can (aerosol) site statistics be applied • for evaluation at a single grid-point ? • for evaluations at many grid-points ? • use satellite data to decide (MISR aod) • how does the 17.6 km value compare to regional means • at 100km • at 300km • at 500km • at 900km
quantify performance only apply to data-pairs: • what is the average relative bias ? • rel BIAS = (S (local - region) / local ) / # cases • what is the average relative error ? • rel ERROR = (S abs(local - region) / local ) / # • selected thresholds • rel BIAS pass < +/- 10% < fail • rel ERROR pass < 30% < fail
