Abstract (EN): Near field model predictions can be used to reduce the uncertainty about the location of an outfall sewage plume during a monitoring mission. In this paper we present an innovative methodology that uses these models to predict the plume location, establishing a sensing strategy applicable to a monitoring mission using an AUV. The paper describes two applications of this methodology, accomplishing the automatic mission definition using real-time oceanographic data. An AUV monitoring mission was conducted to detect and map the Aveiro outfall plume, making use of these applications to specify an efficient sampling strategy.
