Scientific paper

Using infrared cloud imagery data of the Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS) between 1995 - 1997, and a combined, temporal, spatial and infrared threshold criterion for cloud, the authors analyze the probability distributions of clear sky and clear astronomical night sky over China with a spatial resolution better than 20 km and a temporal resolution better than 1 hr. The results show that the peak in the probability distribuiton of astronomical night sky over the whole year occurs in the western and northern parts of China, that the maximum probability of astronomical night sky is higher in the winter half of the year than in the summer half and that the probability of astronomical night can be as high as 95% in December in Tibet Region.
