Abstract

Combined techniques have been successfully used in order to evaluate the Ipanema's sewage submarine outfalls dilution patterns. The oceanographic measurements were carried out during one full year. Sea current measurements were made by an acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) and vertical temperature profile time series by thermistor strings deployed near the diffusers. field campaigns using fluorescent dyes were carried out for covering stratified and non-stratified oceanographic conditions. The acoustic doppler current profiler and thermistor strings were home programmed based on the number of profiles, sampling time, and precision constraints. Uranine and Amidorhodamine G were simultaneously injected into the outfall's
