We present model calculations of the atmospheric transmission for DOME C in Antarctica for frequencies up to 10THz (30 μm) using the forward model MOLIERE-5. Measurements of precipitable water vapor (pwv), obtained by the SUMMIT radiometer installed at the Concordia station during 2008 and working a...
