Pathlength variations due to refraction changes in the troposphere may impose a severe limitation to VLB experiments (like random clock drifts). In connection with a VLB experiment Moran and Penfield (1976) analysed surface values of water vapor density, data of several hundred radiosonde launches and of measurements of sky brightness near the water vapor line at λ = 1.3 cm. They found that the surface values allow to estimate the pathlength to an accuracy of 5 cm in summer and 2 cm in winter. Sky brightness data give a prediction accuracy of 1.5 cm for all weather conditions, but for cloudfree conditions the accuracy was 0.3 cm.

By analyzing the behaviors of water molecules at the solid–water–vapor contact line, we explore the molecular origins of large evaporation rates at the contact line and find new ways to...
