Abstract
Continuous records of temperature and salinity were obtained on the surface waters as function of the horizontal distances around Ilha Grande region, on June 21, 1975; an outflow of less saline (S~33.10º /oo ) and slightly warmer water was detected throughout the region between Ponta de Castelhanos and Ponta Grossa da Marambaia and a visible manifestation of a saline front was observed in the interaction of this outflow with the coastal and more saline water (S~ 35.4 to 35.6º /oo). The recorded salinity values in the east region of Ilha Grande, suggest that the source of less saline water is the runoff in the Baia de Sepetiba.Keywords
