We describe the response assuming an effective pair-breaking mechanism modifying the density of states and compare this to local tunneling spectra obtained using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. For the least disordered film (kFl=8.7, Rs=13Ω), we find good agreement, whereas for the most disordered film (kFl=0.82, Rs=4.3kΩ), there is a strong discrepancy, which signals the breakdown of a model based on uniform properties. %K strongly disordered superconducting TiN films %K microwave resonators %R 10.1103/PhysRevB.88.180505 %U http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.88.180505 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.88.180505 %P 180505 (1 to 5)
