The millimeter wavelength band extends from λ=4 mm (ν=75 GHz) to 1 mm (300 GHz) while the submillimeter band extends from 1 mm to 100 μm (3 THz). The sub-mm band is rather unexplored because of the need to construct large efficient telescopes and sensitive detectors. It is equally important to select excellent sites to reduce the pervasive absorption by the Earth's atmosphere. To a lesser degree,...
