Summary
Abstract:
Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 1214 See the link below for public details on this project. Submillimetre Site Testing Data from Dome C, Dec 2000 - Jan 2001 Optical Depth at 350 microns and effective atmospheric temperature at this wavelength, as measured with the SUMMIT (Sub-Millimetre Tipper) experiment on the AASTINO over the austral summer of 2000/2001. Results, and description ... of the experiment are published in:
Calisse, P.G., Ashley, M.C.B., Burton, M.G., Phillips, M.A, Storey, J.W.V., Radford, S.J.E. and Peterson, J.B., `Submillimeter site testing at Dome C, Antarctica', 2004. Pub. Ast. Soc. Aus., in press.
with additional information in

Note that 99.00 or 999.0 is recorded when an error occurs in the analysis algorithm, for instance the standard deviation being too large, or the fit not converging.
2009-2010 Season Update:
New data were added for the MASS, SODAR and SUMMIT instruments for the years 2003-2005.
