英文摘要 | Appropriate knowledge of wind-speed distributions and optical turbulence at existing and potential astronomical observatories is crucial for siting ground-based telescopes and applying adaptive optics (AO) systems. In this paper, the wind-speed and optical-turbulence characteristics above Gaomeigu and the Tibetan Plateau are studied by employing the 20-yr (1999-2018) European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts' fifth set of reanalysis data (ERA5). First, the meteorological parameters derived from ERA5 data are evaluated with coinciding radiosonde measurements. Results show that the meteorological parameters of ERA5 data in the free atmosphere have quite good reliability, with bias and root mean square error basically lower than 1.2 K in temperature and basically smaller than 2 m s(-1) for wind speed. Then, vertical distributions and seasonal behaviour of the wind speed at Gaomeigu and Lhasa station above the Tibetan Plateau are analysed. Thirdly, the Richardson number (R-i) in the free atmosphere is calculated to provides us with a map of relative probability of different periods and regions of optical turbulence being developed above the two sites. In general, the atmospheric stability of Gaomeigu is higher than that of Lhasa station. Particularly in June, for Gaomeigu, the atmospheric stability within 6-30 km a.s.l. is basically superior or equal to the stable condition found at two mid-latitude sites: Oukaimeden and La Palma. Moreover, Lhasa station has a relative higher stability during June-September than other months. Furthermore, we provide the (C-n(2)) profiles using ERA5 data at Gaomeigu and Lhasa. The results indicate that the choice of an appropriate outer-scale model is crucial for revealing local turbulence characteristics. |
