冰穹C的大气条件:天文含意

Dome C Atmospheric Condition:Implications for Astronomy

在南极洲高原的冰穹C有望发现非凡的天文观测条件,受此鼓舞,许多国际小组协同努力对该地的大气条件作全面的测量．评述对冰穹C的选址现况,讨论过去、现在和计划中的选址仪器,迄今已得到的结果,以及这些结果的天文含意．

The expectation that exceptional condition for astronomy would be found at Dome C on the high Antarctic plateau has motivated a coordinated effort by a number of international teams tocomprehensively measure the atmospheric condition at this site. This paper presents an overview of the current status of site testing at Dome C. We discuss the past, present and planned instrumentation, the main results obtained to date, and the implications of these results.
