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

River Plume Liftoff Dynamics and Surface Expressions [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 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.

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.

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. The work was carried out in the dry season (November). The data of in situ measurements and satellite data show that

Influence of estuarine tidal mixing on structure and spatial scales of large river plumes [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2020 The Yenisei and Khatanga rivers are among the largest estuarine rivers that inflow to the Arctic Ocean. Discharge of the Yenisei River is 1 order of magnitude larger than that of the Khatanga River.

Modeling Extreme Conditions of Sewage Plumes in Central – South Coastal Region of São Paulo State – Brazil [PDF]
Revista DAE, 2016 The study region is located in the central-south coast of Sao Paulo State (Brazil), centered at 24.5°S - 46.5°W, and is influenced by three outfalls of the city of Praia Grande and sewage releases by Itanhaem River.

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 ...

Effects of bottom topography on dynamics of river discharges in tidal regions: case study of twin plumes in Taiwan Strait [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2014 The Princeton Ocean Model (POM) is used to investigate the intratidal variability of currents and turbulent mixing and their impact on the characteristics and evolution of the plumes of two neighbouring rivers, the Zhuoshui River and the Wu River, at the
