Scientific paper

The relative motion of the Pacific plate with respect to Kashima, Japan was directly measured for the first time by using VLBI. The Japan-U.S. joint VLBI experiments were started in January 1984, and by the end of 1985, eight experiments had been conducted. The baseline lengths between the two stations were estimated with a formal error of less than 3 cm in every experiment. The rates of change in these baseline lengths have also been estimated. Preliminary results show that the Pacific plate motion is close to the movement predicted from the plate-motion model; i.e., the distance between Kashima and Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands is shortened by 6.9 + or - 1.9 cm/year.
