  abstract = {{T}he purpose of this article is to report all experiment performed with an {A}coustic {D}oppler {C}urrent {P}rofiler-{ADCP}, under tropical environmental conditions, aimed at testing and evaluating the {ADCP} and comparing the results obtained with those provided by traditional methods used in the {A}mazon {R}iver {B}asin. {T}he {H}i{BA}m research team tested the {ADCP} over a 4-day period at the {M}anacapuru section on the {S}olimoes {R}iver. {D}uring this period, 34 water discharge measurements were completed, whereas only a maximum of only 3 measurements would have been possible using traditional methods. due to operational limitations. {T}he {ADCP} results differed from the other methods by about 9%. {H}owever, the filial water discharge results (93 x 10(3) m(3).s(-1) for the experiment period) showed that the {ADCP} offers fundamental advantages ill terms of measurement reproducibility (less than 1%), speed (only 30 min for a 3000-m transect), reduced number {O}f people (two) and safety. {T}he results also indicate that the {ADCP} call help solve the problem of scatter associated with the rating curve for {M}anacapuru.},
