Notes. Columns: (1) observing frequency; (2), (3), and (4) median percentage effect of pointing, opacity, and gain correction, respectively; (5): average opacity at zenith; and (6): standard deviation around the mean.

(a)

The opacity at the low end of the bandpass may be overestimated as a result of the enhanced beam side-lobes. The tabulated values should then be seen as upper limits.
