| 英文摘要 | The ngari (ali) prefecture of tibet, one of the highest areas in the world, has recently emerged as a promising site for future astronomical observation. here, we use 31 yr of reanalysis data from the climate forecast system reanalysis to examine the astroclimatology of ngari, using the recently-erected ali observatory at shiquanhe (5047 m above mean sea level) as the representative site. we find the percentage of photometric night, median atmospheric seeing and median precipitable water vapour of the shiquanhe site to be 57 per cent, 0.8 arcsec and 2.5 mm, comparable some of the world's best astronomical observatories. additional calculation supports the shiquanhe region as one of the better sites for astronomical observations over the tibetan plateau. based on the studies taken at comparable environment at atacama, extraordinary observing condition may be possible at the few vehicle-accessible 6000 m heights in the shiquanhe region. such possibility should be thoroughly investigated in future. |
