| Abstract | The Infrared Radiometer for Millimetre Astronomy (IRMA) is a 20 mum (15 THz) water vapour monitor. Using a simple infrared detector to measure the emitted flux across a spectral band containing only water vapour rotational transitions it is possible to determine the precipitable water vapour column abundance (PWV) using an atmospheric model. Water vapour is one of the principal sources of opacity at infrared wavelengths, thus measuring diurnal and seasonal trends in PWV plays an important role in observatory site assessment. The Antarctic plateau, with its high altitude, atmospheric stability, and extremely low humidity, represents a unique location for conducting astronomical observations. The site testing role of the IRMA instrument has been refined through remote operation in both Chile and Hawaii, and has now been extended to include Dome C, Antarctica. One IRMA unit will be integrated into the instrument suite of the University of New South Wales' AASTINO site monitoring facility in September 2007. We present here an overview of the IRMA concept and features that enables their use in site testing applications in remote locations of the Chilean desert. In addition, we describe the modifications required for operation in the low temperature environment (-80degC) encountered at Dome C. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
