German term or phrase: der zu kontrollierende meteorologische Parameter
Liebe KollegInnen,

es handelt sich um einen wissenschaftlichen Text. Der vollständige Satz lautet: xxx basiert auf der berechtigten Annahme, dass bei hinreichender Datendichte "der zu kontrollierende meteorologische Parameter" glatt verteilt ist, die integrale Krümmung des entsprechendes Feldes daher gering sein muss.

Wie würdet ihr das am besten formulieren? Vielen Dank schon einmal für Eure Vorschläge.

agree  Ramey Rieger (X): yes, "recorded" if the context calls for it, but "monitored" fits excellently.

agree  translation_4: Both options sound good. I agree with Ramey that monitored fits a bit better. You could also say "the meteorological parameter to be looked at" or possibly "the parameter in question"
