Abstract
The averaged integrated parameter representing the mean value of ratio of total water vapors on wet delay at the chosen distance of latitude is suggested. The function of interrelation of such parameters as height of lo cation site and latitude is suggested. It is shown, that the optimal function does exist which bring the aver aged integrated parameter to its minimal value .
