This talk presents the results of a comparative analysis of the ICOS Cities pilot cities Munich and Paris, representative for mid-sized and mega-cities in Europe. The findings of this analysis hold great potential for informing the design and implementation of a comprehensive, long-term urban atmospheric monitoring network.
