| dc.description.abstract | Eastern Anatolia Observatory (DAG), located at 39.78 degrees North latitude (N) and 41.23 degrees East longitude (E) with 3170 m altitude above the sea level in the east part of T & uuml;rkiye, having the first 4m class infrared (IR) telescope. DAG telescope is not only the largest telescope in T & uuml;rkiye but also the most important telescope in the northern hemisphere because it also covers a large observational gap thanks to its location over the World. The atmospheric conditions of the DAG site have a major impact on the quality of observations in ground-based astronomy. The atmospheric conditions of an observatory site being effective and important for both optical and infrared observations is a key parameter in assessing the performance of astronomic observations and observatory sites. In this study, as an observatory site, a detailed long-term atmospheric and astronomical analysis of DAG site were presented for near-infrared observations, especially. Within the scope of basic atmospheric and astronomical parameters, it has been revealed that the DAG site is an observatory site with a great astronomical observation potential, due to its location, robust infrastructure, astronomical and atmospheric properties originating from geography. | |
