River Plume Rooted on the Sea-Floor: Seasonal and Spring-Neap Variability of the Pearl River Plume Front [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The buoyant river plume front exhibits substantial variability in the sea surface under energetic external forcing. Although highly dynamic, the river plume is often “rooted” at specific locations through the bottom river plume front.

Encountering shoaling internal waves on the dispersal pathway of the pearl river plume in summer [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Fundamentally, river plume dynamics are controlled by the buoyancy due to river effluent and mixing induced by local forcing such as winds and tides. Rarely the influence of far-field internal waves on the river plume dynamics is documented.

River Plume Liftoff Dynamics and Surface Expressions. [PDF]
Water Resour Res, 2020 AbstractThe water surface expression of liftoff and its dependence on discharge are examined using numerical simulations with the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). Liftoff is the process by which buoyant river water separates from the bed and flows over denser saltwater.

Response of a Small River Plume on Wind Forcing [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Wind forcing is the main driver of river plume dynamics. Direction and magnitude of wind determine position, shape, and size of a river plume. The response of river plumes on wind forcing was simulated in many numerical modeling studies; however, in situ

Spreading of the Amazon River Plume
Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Results of a joint Russian-Brazilian expedition to study the dynamics of continental river runoff in the ocean associated with the Amazon plume are presented. The stations of the study region covered the seaward part of the Amazon plume.

Amazon River plume habitats shape planktonic cnidarian assemblages in the Western Atlantic. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The impact of the Amazon River freshwater plume on planktonic cnidarians over neritic and oceanic provinces is unknown. To provide further knowledge we took advantage of an oceanographic cruise performed in October 2012 in the Western Atlantic off the ...

Benefits of Turbid River Plume Habitat for Lake Erie Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) Recruitment Determined by Juvenile to Larval Genotype Assignment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Nutrient-rich, turbid river plumes that are common to large lakes and coastal marine ecosystems have been hypothesized to benefit survival of fish during early life stages by increasing food availability and (or) reducing vulnerability to visual ...

Laboratory study on movement characteristics of a river plume using particle image velocimetry
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Rivers are important passages for land-based materials transported to the sea, such as fresh water, sediment, pollutants, and nutrients. River discharge with land-based materials will form a river plume with a buoyancy flow. The river plume is subject to

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 We study the daily to interannual variability of the Red River plume in the Gulf of Tonkin from numerical simulations at high resolution over 6 years (2011–2016). Compared with observational data, the model results show good performance.

On the spatial scales of a river plume [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2008 We report observations of the structure of the front that surrounds the plume of the Connecticut River in Long Island Sound (LIS). Salinity, temperature, and velocity in the near‐surface waters were measured by both towed and ship‐mounted sensors and an autonomous underwater vehicle.
