Abstract The Persian Gulf (also known as Arabian Gulf) is surrounded by desalination plants
with about 50% of worldwide capacity to desalinate seawater. Most of these plants dispose …

A monitoring mission to study the shape and estimate initial dilution of the S. Jacinto outfall
plume using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) was performed on July 30, 2002. In …

A Lagrangian model of a surface-advected river plume is developed. The model combines
the deterministic approach resulting from the momentum budget with a random-walk …

“The occurrence of pathogenic microorganisms in seawater or in shellfish could exist
anytime sewage from human or animal origin would be discharged to the coast”(Metcalf …

The flushing time of reef lagoons estimated over recent years by 2-dimensional Lagrangian
algorithms may have been significantly overestimated. This is due to a numerical artefact …

Field surveys were conducted on the Boston sewage outfall plume to test and certify the
outfall's initial dilution in the near field and to investigate its dispersion in the far field …

Glider surveys of the greater San Pedro Bay region in the Southern California Bight during
the fall of 2006 demonstrated the utility of autonomous underwater gliders in a coastal …

Field observations of the Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, ocean sewage outfall were
obtained by adding dye tracers to the effluent and simultaneously measuring oceanographic …

A methodology to determine the spatial and temporal evolution of stratification in estuaries
driven by astronomical tides and river discharges was developed and is presented here …
