FTS Opacity Measurements of the South Pole Submillimeter Sky

Abstract A sub-millimeter Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) was used at the South Pole to acquire wide frequency span (300 GHz < v < 2 THz) measurements of the atmospheric opacity, T (V). Comparisons were made with other ongoing measurements to allow inference of typical wintertime...

Description
Summary:Abstract A sub-millimeter Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) was used at the South Pole to acquire wide frequency span (300 GHz < v < 2 THz) measurements of the atmospheric opacity, T (V). Comparisons were made with other ongoing measurements to allow inference of typical wintertime observing statistics.
