Skydip Observations with EMIR
2017-02-22: two skydips were performed in both bands E1 & E2. The central frequency for each band was set to 151.60 GHz USB and 256.68 GHz USB (average of A1 & A3) after calculations of the effective frequency for the NIKA2 bands by J. Macias (A1 => 255.53 GHz, A2 => 151.60 GHZ, A3 => 257.84). The weather conditions were very similar for both measurements with pwv = 7 [mm]. Scan numbers for the bands are: 26, 28 for E1 and 32, 34 for E2. The recorded bands are 4 BBCs (LSB & USB in HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL polarizations) and 2 NBC (USB in HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL polarizations). Opacity results are given in the plots.
