The Antarctica is an extremely attractive site for ground-based sub-millimeter wave remote sensing and radio astronomy. In particular, a very low water vapor concentration of the Antarctic atmosphere is advantageous in millimeter and sub-millimeter wave observations of the upper atmosphere and astro...
