The EMILIE experiment was designed for ground based photometry of the galactic diffuse emission in the submillimeter range. The regions of the Galaxy visible from the south hemisphere were observed from the geographic South Pole during the Austral summer 1984-1985.
The characteristics of the site for submillimeter astronomy are deduced from these observations and specific measurement made with this instrument. The total precipitable water obtained this way is in good agreement with meteorological soundings carried from the station. Comparing this site with Mauna Kea, Hawaii, where the EMILIE experiment was first operated in 1982, the excellent quality of South Pole for submillimeter astronomy is proved (total precipitable water, atmsopheric emission and transmission, fluctuations of this emission). This experiment led to new measurements of the galactic dust emission at 900 μm between the longitudes 330° and 6°.
