Scientific paper

Radiosonde aerological data measured above Vostok, the Soviet station in East Antarctica, testify to an exceptionally low integrated humidity on clear days: the annual mean precipitable water content is 0.35 mm, dropping to 0.20 mm in the winter. The atmosphere at Vostok is dry enough for radiation from cosmic sources to be observable in the 1.63-mm H2O line and in several transparency windows between 300 and 200 microns.
