VM-3 hygrometers installed on the Venera-13, 14 probes were used to measure the content of water vapor in the Venusian atmosphere. The design and operation of the instruments are described, and results of measurements are presented. The variation of water-vapor pressure as a function of time of descent was examined. The volume concentration of water vapor was determined to be 0.2 percent, which is evidence that Venus is water-poor and that its atmosphere is dry. The significant water-deficit in the above-cloud layer compared with the water content below the cloud layer leads to the conclusion that water participates in the formation of layer.
