Glossary entry (derived from question below)
German term or phrase:
räumliche Auflösung
English translation:
spatial resolution
German term
Raeumlicher Aufloesung
The sentence which contains this phrase is:
"Eine Gruppe des Max-Planck-Instituts für Meteorologie berechnete vor ein paar Monaten erstmals das Klima des 21. Jahrhunderts in Europa mit hoher räumlicher Auflösung. Dabei wurden markante Unterschiede sichtbar: Die Sommer der fünften Dekade sollen im Mittelmeerraum um mehr als 2,5 Grad Celsius heißer sein als die 30 der Jahre 1961 bis 1990, in Mitteleuropa nicht einmal um 1 Grad."
I translated "Raemliche Aufloesung as "Spatial resolution" but this just seems wrong. I know think "Raeumlich" is "scope", but I am not sure what "Aufloesung" is in this context.
I would really appreciate any ideas :)
Thank you in advance!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
