## Abstract Measurements of the salinity of raindrops as a function of drop size show that there are characteristic variations according to the type of rain. For Bergeronβtype rain near Sydney, New South Wales, the dependence may be expressed in the form salinity Ξ± (radius)^β__n__^, where __n__ is

The relatively high cost of commercially available raindrop spectrometers and disdrometers has inhibited detailed and intensive research on drop size distribution, kinetic energy and momentum of rainfall which are important for understanding and modelling soil erosion caused by raindrop detachment.
Juvenile blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, extensively utilize oligohaline and freshwater regions of the estuary. With a presumptively larger surface-area-to-body weight ratio, juvenile crabs could experience osmo-and ionoregulatory costs well in excess of that of adults. To test this hypothesis, cra
