Atmospheric transmission and noise measurements in Antarctica

We describe a set of measurements carried out in Antarctica during the second Italian Antarctic Expedition. Atmospheric precipitable water vapour, millimetric transmission and noise were monitored for 2 months during the austral summer. The results suggest that the site is favourable for far infrare...

Description
Summary:We describe a set of measurements carried out in Antarctica during the second Italian Antarctic Expedition. Atmospheric precipitable water vapour, millimetric transmission and noise were monitored for 2 months during the austral summer. The results suggest that the site is favourable for far infrared astronomy measurements.
