Much ingenuity has been devoted to the determination of mutual coherence functions at radio wavelengths. Measurements of the amplitude and phase of the interference fringes with uncertainties of only 1 percent are now attainable. Unfortunately the atmosphere intervenes between the measured quantities and the mutual coherence function itself and the phase uncertainties introduced by the ionospheric and tropospheric irregularities are often the factor limiting the quality of radioastronomical maps.
