    Abstract: A method for determining a viscosity of a medium based on damping of an oscillation mode of a measurement tube comprises exciting oscillations of an oscillation mode; detecting a sequence of provisional damping measurement values for the measurement tube oscillation mode; and calculating target measurement values. The influence of the cross-sensitivity of the damping for the flow rate of the medium is corrected by determining rectified damping measurement values that correspond to damping when the medium is at rest and determining viscosity on the basis of the rectified damping measurement values, or correcting the influence of the cross-sensitivity of the damping for the flow rate of the medium by determining provisional intermediate values of a damping-dependent variable, determining rectified intermediate values that correspond to the intermediate values when the medium is at rest, and determining the target measurement values on the basis of the rectified intermediate values.
