We discuss the results of the atmospheric absorption studies on the territory of the Kara-Dag radio astronomy station in Crimea in the millimeter-wavelength transparency windows. Critical analysis of the hardware system and measurement techniques is carried out, which permits one to create a more perfect radiometric system for long-term atmospheric measurements. Connection between atmospheric absorption at the Kara-Dag station and climatic features of the station location is shown. The bimodal distribution of absorption is explained by the prevailing north wind.
