dc.description.abstractAstronomical sites have to be selected according to many factors whereas the geographic location of the site and the quality of the atmosphere above the site play an important role in the decision process. The following factors were chosen to create layers 1907 northern and 235 southern observatories: CC (cloud coverage), PWV (precipitable water vapor), AOD (aerosol optical depth), VWV (vertical wind velocity), and HWV (horizontal wind velocity). To estimate the astronomical importance of the sites, DEM (digital elevation model) and LAT (latitude of observatory location) layers were also included. In addition to the variations or trends, a complete statistical analysis was carried out for all factors to investigate the potential correlations between the factors. There is a clear difference between the northern and southern hemispheres. The exchange of meteorological seasons between hemispheres is also compliant with factors. The geographical locations of most of the observatories were found to be “not suitable”. There seem to be no apparent long-term variations and/or patterns in all factors. © 2024 Elsevier Ltden_US
