228Ra and 226Ra in Coastal Seawater Samples from the Ubatuba Region - Brazilian Southeastern Coastal Region

چکیده
O presente trabalho apresenta os resultados de Ra e Ra obtidos durante o 4 experimento de intercomparação referente à descarga submarina de água subterrânea (Submarine Groundwater Discharge, SGD) realizado em Ubatuba (SP), em novembro/2003. Este experimento visava testar, em um sistema de rochas cristalinas fraturadas, as diferentes metodologias existentes de determinação da SDG. Embora com objetivo distinto, decidiu-se participar deste experimento de modo a verificar se os isótopos de rádio poderiam ser empregados no estudo de mistura de águas na região e, também, testar a capacidade analítica do laboratório, visando uma futura validação de modelos de dispersão marinha para o local de instalação dos reatores nucleares de Angra dos Reis, distantes apenas setenta quilômetros da região do experimento. Além das concentrações de Ra e Ra, resultados de salinidade, bário e sílica também são apresentados e suas relações com a concentração de Ra são discutidas.

متن کاملSeasonal variation of atmospheric and terrestrial nutrients and their influence on primary production in an oligotrophic coastal system-southeastern Brazil
. Abstract: In an oligotrophic coastal zone, land drainage and atmospheric precipitation can temporarily modify the concentrations of specific dissolved compounds in local surface waters, mainly nutrient salts, setting up conditions for "new" primary production of phytoplankton. The Ubatuba region (23°30'S 45°06'W) is considered an oligo-mesotrophic region subject to a high average annual preci...
