✦ Synopsis

A new type of horizontal trap was developed for measuring the aeolian sand transport rate on a flat surface. The trap consists of an adjustable frame that is embedded level with the sand surface, into which a plastic liner is installed and filled with water to capture the blown sand. The water trap has high efficiency and does not disturb the wind field or induce upwind scour. Deployment on Padre Island, Texas, indicated that this portable and adjustable trap catches and retains all the sand blown into it, even under relatively strong wind.

A new tipping-bucket assembly (T-BASS) for aeolian sand traps has been designed and field tested with encouraging results. It facilitates high-frequency monitoring of sediment flux over extensive time periods, and therefore offers improved performance over other continuously weighing mechanisms that

## Abstract The deuterium content of water vapour in a given air mass is sensitive to its temperature and condensation history. Isotopic measurements therefore have the potential to shed light on the transport of air and water vapour into the stratosphere. Previous measurements of the isotopic comp

Thin film composite membranes of sulfonated poly(phenylene oxide) (SPPOk-polysulfone (PS) (SPPO-PS) were prepared by coating the hydrogen or sodium form of SPPO onto various porous substrates such as polysulfone (PS). The effects of membrane preparation conditions and feed water variables on the sal
