Abstract

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 to comprehensively 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.
