Plume-to-plume interactions in the Pearl River Delta in winter

Ocean and Coastal Management, 2019
Abstract River plumes are important carriers of terrigenous materials being transported into coastal seas. Previous studies of river plumes focused on large and single river plumes and paid less attention to the plume-to-plume interactions among the small river plumes.

A buoyant plume adjacent to a headland—Observations of the Elwha River plume

Continental Shelf Research, 2011
Small rivers commonly discharge into coastal settings with topographic complexities – such as headlands and islands – but these settings are underrepresented in river plume studies compared to more simplified, straight coasts. The Elwha River provides a unique opportunity to study the effects of coastal topography on a buoyant plume, because it ...

Internal Waves on River Plumes

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
We present results of observations of internal waves (IW) on the river plumes caused by the spread of the front of fresh waters, based on satellite images of the visible range obtained by Sentinel-2A Multispectral Imager Instrument (MSI/S2) and Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI/L8) instruments. Due to the high spatial resolution of these satellite

Frontal structure of a river plume

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1974
Field observations are reported of the frontal structure found along the boundary of the Connecticut River plume in Long Island Sound. The hydrography and the horizontal current field were determined in the vicinity of the front. The front separates ambient saltwater on the surface from the light brackish water of the plume.

Numerical Characterization of the Douro River Plume

2019
The Douro is one of the largest rivers of the Iberian Peninsula, representing the most important buoyancy source into the Atlantic Ocean on the northwestern Portuguese coast. The main goal of this study is to contribute to the knowledge of physical processes associated with the propagation of the Douro River plume. The general patterns of dispersion in

Modelling the Zambezi River plume

African Journal of Marine Science, 2015
A model for the Zambezi River plume, the largest on the Indian Ocean coast of Africa, is presented and the results of experiments with different discharges and wind forcings are analysed. Although the river plays an important role in the southern African economy through power generation on large dams, artisanal fisheries, and frequent flooding events ...

Heterogeneities in salinity in a river plume

Estuarine and Coastal Marine Science, 1973
Abstract Continuous and discrete measurements of salinity off the mouth of the Rhone River show the effects of wind induced mixing and of internal waves on the salinity structure. Vertical salinity changes of up to 25%‰ in 1 meter and internal waves with periods of two to three minutes were observed in the upper meter of the water column.

The Level and Fate of Metals in the Danube River Plume

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2002
Abstract Trace metal concentrations were measured in the Danube River at different locations along the three main branches of the delta. Results from a systematic delta survey in 1997 and those from the 1995 cruise indicate that the ranges of the total dissolved concentrations in the river end-member are: A1=211–445 nM, Cd=224–302 pM, Co=266–390 pM ...
