An assessment of the climatological representativeness of IAGOS-CARIBIC trace gas measurements using EMAC model simulations

Measurement data from the long-term passenger aircraft project IAGOS-CARIBIC are often used to derive climatologies of trace gases in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). We investigate to what extent such climatologies are representative of the true state of the atmosphere. Climatol...
