Infrared and Submillimeter Atmospheric Characteristics of High Antarctic Plateau Sites
ABSTRACT. The best ground-based astronomical sites in terms of telescope sensitivity at infrared and submillimeter wavelengths are located on the Antarctic Plateau, where high atmospheric transparency and low sky emission are obtained because of the extremely cold and dry air; these benefits are wel...
