The apparent solubilization of water in hydrocarbon solvents by the addition of 0.1% to 2.0% w/w di-(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) has been studied. In n-octane and n-decane, transitions of clear-turbid-clear-turbid were observed with increasing water content, whereas in dodecane, tetradecane, hexadecane, cyclohexane, and toluene only one clear-turbid transition was seen. Separation...

Abstract. Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is the vertically integrated amount of in atmosphere, and it a valuable predictor for weather forecasting. Currently, use sophisticated instrumentation can limit number PWV measurement sites, which affects accuracy forecast models regards to storm formation, strength, potential precipitation. We have analyzed relationships between zenith sky temperature ...
