Abstract (English):
The paper presents the results of studying the astroclimate at possible locations for the Eurasian Submillimeter Telescopes (ESMT), including the sites of Kurapdag in the Agul district of Dagestan, Khunzundallbak (3676 m) in the Rutul district of Dagestan, Khulugaisha peak (Eastern Sayan), Tashanta checkpoint in the intermountain basin of the Altai Republic, Boguty (3350 m) in the foothills of the Altai Mountains near the border with Mongolia, the Suffa plateau (Aktashtau, 3282 m), and the Ali region in Tibet. The expected radio brightness temperatures of the clear and cloudy atmosphere at wavelengths of 2 and 3 mm and the characteristics of the 3-mm range radiometer for measuring the optical thickness of the atmosphere are presented.
