The atmospheric conditions above Dome A, a currently unmanned location at the highest point on … the Antarctic plateau, are uniquely suited to astronomy. For certain types of astronomy Dome A is … likely to be the best location on the planet…
The unique atmospheric conditions present at sites such as Dome C on the Antarctic plateau are … very favorable for high spatial resolution astronomy. At Dome C…
Snodar is a 5 kHz monostatic acoustic radar designed to measure the atmospheric turbulence within the first 200 m of the … atmosphere with a vertical resolution of 1 m. An in situ calibration target is used to give absolute intensity calibration.
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed 2.5-m optical/ … infrared telescope to be located at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau. Conditions at Dome C are known to … be exceptional for astronomy. The seeing (above ¡30m height), coherence time…
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed 2.5-m optical/ … infrared telescope to be located at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau. The atmospheric conditions at Dome C … deliver a high sensitivity, high photometric precision, wide-field, high spatial resolution…

The Antarctic plateau contains the best sites on earth for many forms of astronomy, but … none of the existing bases was selected with astronomy as the primary motivation. In this paper, we try to systematically compare the merits of potential observatory sites. We include South … Pole, Domes A…
We have characterised a small, high-efficiency diesel generator selected to power remote experiments on the Antarctic … plateau at altitudes of up to 5000 m.
Terrestrial systems in Antarctica are characterized by substantial spatial and temporal variation. However, few studies have addressed the paucity of data on metabolic responses to the unpredictable … Antarctic environment, particularly with regard to terrestrial biota.
