The values of 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 , and the calibration curve shown in Fig. S5.
