The values of Inline graphic can vary between experiments but the slowest observed flows are reported here to calculate an upper limit to the viscosity.

A lower limit (378 Pa·s) was established for 40–70% RH on the basis of the lower 95% prediction limit from the bead-mobility value at 70% RH.

The upper limits to the viscosities were calculated using Inline graphic, and the calibration curve shown in Fig. S5.
