Spectra of three water vapor lines obtained with the Fourier transform spectrometer at the McMath telescope have been analyzed to obtain the atmospheric water-vapor content. The results for 52 days between 1978 and 1983 show a maximum of between 20 and 25 mm precipitable water vapor in July and August and minima between February and June and between October and December. Outside of a secondary maximum due to two days in January 1983 the results are in generally good agreement with those obtained with a grating spectrograph. The pressure-broadened linewidths have been used to make corrections not exceeding 11% to the results obtained with the spectrograph.
