##### Abstract
The discovery of leptonic CP violation is one of the primary goals of next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments, which is feasible due to the recent measurement of a relatively large leptonic mixing angle \theta_{13}. We suggest two new working observables \Delta A^{\rm m}_{\alpha \beta} \equiv \max[A^{\rm CP}_{\alpha \beta}(\delta)] - \min[A^{\rm CP}_{\alpha \beta}(\delta)] and \Delta A^{\rm CP}_{\alpha \beta}(\delta) \equiv A^{\rm CP}_{\alpha \beta}(\delta) - A^{\rm CP}_{\alpha \beta}(0) to describe the CP-violating effects in long-baseline and atmospheric neutrino oscillation experiments. The former signifies the experimental sensitivity to the leptonic Dirac CP-violating phase $\delta$ and can be used to optimize the experimental setup, while the latter measures the intrinsic leptonic CP violation and can be used to extract $\delta$ directly from the experimental observations. Both analytical and numerical analyses are carried out to illustrate their main features. It turns out that an intense neutrino beam with sub-GeV energies and a baseline of a few 100 km may serve as an optimal experimental setup for probing leptonic CP violation.
