Abstract: In this paper we show how effects from small scales can enter the angular-redshift power spectrum $C_{e}ll(z,z^{\prime })$. In particular, we show that spectroscopic surveys with high redshift resolution are already affected on large angular scales, i.e. at low multipoles, by features from small scales. When considering the angular power spectrum with spectroscopic redshift resolution, it is therefore important to account for non-linearities relevant on small scales, even at low multipoles. This may also motivate the use of the correlation function in relatively wide redshift bins, which is not affected by non-linearities on large scales, instead of the angular power spectrum. The extent to which small-scale effects become visible on large scales, which is more relevant for bin auto-correlations than for cross-correlations, is quantified in detail.
