Abstract
Variations in atmospheric water vapor are difficult to correct for in geodetic, astrometric, and mm-wave astronomy VLBI. The use of a water vapor radiometer (WVR) has given promising results. The algorithm which relates the sky brightness temperatures observed by the WVR to the delay caused by atmopheric water vapor is discussed. Examples of WVR measurements made at the Onsala Space Observatory from 1980 to 1987 are presented.
