In this work, we present the results of seasonal astroclimate observations at the RT-70 radiotelescope construction site on the Suffa Plateau (2400 m above sea level). Observations were performed automatically each 11 min round the year starting from November 2014. The shortand long-term laws of variations in the atmospheric-transparency parameters are considered and the statistical diagrams are developed. The statistical data characterizing the astroclimate and allowing one to predict the possibility of radio-astronomy observations in the transparency windows of the millimeter- and submillimeter-wavelength ranges are the basic result of this work.
