	Dome C - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dome C is located on the Antarctic Plateau, 1,100km inland from the French research station at Dumont D'Urville, 1,100 km inland from the Australian Casey Station and 1,200 km inland from the Italian Zucchelli station at Terra Nova Bay.
		Dome C does not experience the katabatic winds typical for the coastal regions of Antarctica because of its elevated location and its relative distance from the edges the Antarctic Plateau.
		Dome C is notable for being the site of an astronomical observatory capable of extremely accurate observations; the transparency of the Antarctic atmosphere allows stars to be observed, even when the sun is at an elevation angle of 38°.

		A.D. The other solution to placing a dome over a square was the squinch, which in the form of stalactites was to receive superb expression in Islamic architecture.
		Between pendentive and dome a circular drum usually was interposed, serving to give greater elevation and external importance as well as a space for the introduction of windows.
		In the United States the dome of the Massachusetts state capitol, designed (1795) by Charles Bulfinch, established the dome as a distinctive feature for numerous later state capitols as well as for the national Capitol at Washington, D. The dome of the latter, however, is of cast iron instead of masonry.

		C Series metal domes (tactile metal domes, or metal snap domes) are round shaped switch contacts that were designed for mounting on membrane circuitry.
		When they are pushed, the centers of the domes collapse past the flat plane and make contact with the secondary pathway, thereby closing the circuit.
		The size of C Series metal dome is from 4mm to 20mm in a range of (trip) force, typical 100- 500 g.

	Earth's best view of the stars — Antarctica's Dome C
		Dome C is 400 m higher than the South Pole and further inland from the coast.
		Being a "dome" - a local maximum in the elevation of the terrain - it experiences much lower peak and average wind speeds, which has a profound beneficial effect on the performance of astronomical instruments.
		The observations at Dome C represent a stunning technical achievement, according to the paper's lead author, Dr Jon S. Lawrence, a University of New South Wales Postdoctoral Fellow.

	Dome C seeing, Nature Letter
		Where is Dome C? Dome C is on the high plateau in the central region of Antarctica at an altitude of 3,260 m.
		While an 8 m at Dome C would be superior to any other telescope on the planet, we think it is too great a step to take at this stage.
		At the time, the seeing conditions at Dome C were a matter of speculation, which is why we have put so much effort into obtaining the latest data.

	A 220 kyr record of Pb isotopes at Dome C Antarctica from analyses of the EPICA ice core
		Pb isotopic compositions and Pb and Ba concentrations are reported in EPICA Dome C ice core samples dating to 220 kyr BP, indicating that Pb isotopic compositions in Antarctic ice vary with changing climate.
		Ba, a proxy for mineral dust, was used to determine that dust usually accounts for ∼70% of Pb in Dome C ice, while the remaining ∼30% was attributed to volcanic emissions.

		After we were on the plane it took off and flew over some exposed mountains before reaching the plateau, where there is nothing but flat snow as far as you can see in every direction.
		Two hours later we landed at Dome C. Because of the location near the pole, where the time zones converge, we crossed through four time zones in a four-hour flight on a slow plane.
		As a result, we actually landed at Dome C earlier than we left BTN.
