Abstract
We present results from phase correction efforts at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory millimeter array (OVRO). A brief description of the theory of phase correction is followed by a description of the water line monitors (WLMs) constructed and placed on each of the six antennas of the array. A summary of the current software in place is also included. We present examples of data corrected using this technique and the first image created using radiometric phase correction at OVRO. The phase correction system is undergoing further development and will soon be made available for general observing at the array. A brief discussion of application of the technique for future arrays (e.g. MMA, LSA, etc.) is included as a conclusion to this contribution.
