Abstract

Abstract Cloud cover plays a pivotal role in assessing observational conditions for astronomical site-testing. Except for the fraction of observing time, its fragmentation also wields a significant influence on the quality of nighttime sky clarity. In this article, we introduce the function Γ ∈ [0, 1], designed to comprehensively capture both the fraction of available observing
time and its continuity. Leveraging in situ measurement data gathered at the Muztagh-ata site
between 2017 and 2021, we showcase the effectiveness of our approach. The statistical result
illustrates that the Muztagh-ata site affords approximately 122 nights of absolute clear and
205 very good nights annually, corresponding to Γ ≥ 0.9 and Γ ≥ 0.36 respectively.
Muztagh-ata站点观测时间碎片化分析
云量在天文站点测试观测条件评估中起着关键作用。除了观测时间的比例外,它的碎片化也对夜间天空清晰度的质量产生重大影响。在本文中,我们引入了函数Γ∈[0,1],该函数旨在全面捕获可用的观测 时间的百分比及其连续性。利用2017年至2021年期间在Muztagh-ata现场收集的现场测量数据,我们展示了我们方法的有效性。统计结果表明,Muztagh-ata站点每年大约有122个绝对晴朗的夜晚和205个非常晴朗的夜晚,分别对应Γ≥0.9和Γ≥0.36。
