Scientific paper

To assess the observational condition of Yangbajin, the Portable Submillimeter Telescope (POST) is used to measure the atmospheric opacity at 460 GHz from November 2008 to December 2008. The result shows that the quartile of atmospheric opacity during the observing time at 460 GHz at Yangbajin Observatory is 1.25, 1.42 and 1.63 and the time proportion of atmospheric opacity less than 1 is about 3.4%. At last, we compare the submillimeter site conditions of Yangbajin with those of other submillimeter observatories in the world, and try to explore the possible causes that may influence the submillimeter atmospheric opacity.
