CHINESE ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Dome C’s Atmospheric Conditions: Implications for Astronomy ⋆

Abstract The expectation that exceptional conditions for astronomy would be found at Dome C on the high Antarctic plateau has motivated a coordinated effort by a number of international teams to comprehensively measure the atmospheric conditions at this site. This paper presents an overview of the c...
