When light-wave propagates in the turbulent atmosphere, it will be affected by atmospheric turbulence and brought various effect , such as flicker, phase fluctuation. So the investigation of atmosphere optics parameters always must be important. Because of the differences in geographical conditions and climate, atmospheric optical parameters in different regions have different spatial and time distribution. In this paper, various atmosphere optics parameters are measured by atmosphere optics parameters measure system in the Delingha area of Qinghai province and Xinjiang Korla area, through statistical analysis of atmospheric optical parameters corresponding area, we know clearly different geographical climate character of the northwest area of atmospheric optical parameters of structure characteristics, the results provide a valuable reference for further practical engineering application of optical remote sensing location and atmospheric optical transmission and atmospheric properties.
The distribution of parameters such as sunshine hours, precipitation, and visibility were obtained by analyzing the meteorological data in 906 stations of China during 1981~2012. And the month and annual variations of the parameters in some typical stations were discussed. The results show that: (1) the distribution of clear days is similar to that of sunshine hours, the values of which decrease from north to south and from west to east. The distributions of cloud, precipitation and vapor pressure are opposite. (2) The northwest areas in China have the characteristic such as low precipitation and vapor pressure, small cloud clever, and good visibility, which are the general conditions of astronomical site selection. (3) The parameters have obvious month variation. There are large precipitation, long sunshine hours and strong radiation in the mid months of one year, which are opposite in beginning and ending of one year. (4) In the selected stations, the value of vapor pressure decreases year by year, and the optical depth is similar or invariable. All the above results provided for astronomical site selection.
