Scientific paper

The opacity of the sky above the South Pole was measured in the
millimetric atmospheric windows. The opacity is found to range from 0.1
to 0.2, implying very low water vapor column density. The low water
vapor content makes the South Pole ideal for astrophysical observations
in the infrared and millimetric windows.
