Nearshore current measurements for the SEFLOE II project, 1991-1992.

The 1989 Southeast Florida Outfall Experiment (SEFLOE) was performed to evaluate the dispersion and advection of wastewater from ocean outfalls along the southeast Florida coast. The results showed that more comprehensive current measurements were needed to interpret the wastewater dilution measurements, and SEFLOE II was scheduled to include the additional data collection. Continuous series of current measurements were obtained at four outfalls both to support other measurements being collected during intensive survey periods and to compile long-term statistics of the different characters of ocean currents at the outfalls. Current meters were installed at two depths on each mooring.
