Geographical-environmental factors extraction and analysis for optical astronomical site selection based on multi-source remote sensing in Lenghu, Qinghai Province
Abstract:At present, there are scarce sites that can require high-quality astronomical observations over the world, therefore, analysis of geographical-environmental factors and extraction of the potential places for astronomical observations is of significance. Remote sensing has the specific advantage for rapid and widespread monitoring and geo-spatial analysis. In this paper, Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV), clear nights, altitude and surface coverage, these four parameters associated with optical astronomical observ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
