miscibility mist in atmospheric chemistry

miscibility gap

Area within the coexistence curve of an isobaric phase diagram (temperature vs composition) or an isothermal phase diagram (pressure vs composition).
Note:
A miscibility gap is observed at temperatures below an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) or above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Its location depends on pressure. In the miscibility gap, there are at least two phases coexisting.
