Rk. Kaul et al., APPLICATION OF INSAT SATELLITE CLOUD-IMAGERY DATA FOR SITE EVALUATIONWORK OF PROPOSED GRACE-OBSERVATORY, Journal of astrophysics and astronomy, 15(1), 1994, pp. 95-102
The weather-imageries from the INSAT group of satellites provide relia
ble and concurrent multistation cloud-cover data-an important input fo
r a proper selection of an observatory site for optical, infra-red and
gamma-ray astronomy work. Using these data, it is shown that Gurushik
ar, Mt. Abu, promises to be an excellent site for setting up the propo
sed GRACE facility for high-sensitivity Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Cerenko
v Experiments.
