LABOCA Zenith opacities

LABOCA zenith opacities as a function of time. For each entry in the output table, we provide three values for the zenith opacity: tau_sd, derived by reducing a Skydip scan with redsky(scannr). tau_rm, computed from the precipitable water vapour (PWV) and an atmospheric model. A linear combination of these two: tau_mean = (1.3*tau_sd + 0.9*tau_rm)/2.0 The latter usually provides the best estimate of the true zenith opacity; but users are strongly encouraged to carefully and critically check all these values and their variations during the time interval covering their science observations.
