Abstract

The French-Italian station of Dome Concordia (lat. 76degrees S; long. 123degrees E; alt. 3,260m) will be operating year-round from January 2005, offering a new outstanding opportunity for the deployment of instrumentation for submillimetre astronomy. In early 2003, SUMMIT, a tipper operating at 350 mum, was deployed to the site. A preliminary analysis of the winter sub-millimetre opacity data obtained is presented.
