Table 2.

Population-weighted correlations between measurement error and true values, R(ε,Z*), and between measurement error and measured values, R(ε,Z), where the true values, Z*, are the true ambient concentration fields and the measured values, Z, are the monitor-based metrics of central monitor (CM), unweighted average (UA), population-weighted average (PWA), and area-weighted average (AWA) and the true population-weighted average (TPWA). Standard deviations of the correlations for 10 independent sets of CO simulations are shown.
