Estuarine Fronts and River Plumes
1988Fresh water sources and mixing events form the frontal structures that are often observed in estuarine systems. The temporal and spatial variability or persistence of fronts depend not only on the source, but also on the relative dynamic importance of acceleration, friction and the rotation of the earth.

Three-Dimensional Plume of the Rhône River
1999Abstract This paper relates to the three-dimensional study of the Rhone river plume hydrodynamics. This work is both experimental and numerical: during a field campaign in the delta area experimental data have been collected and three-dimensional numerical simulations of the dynamical fields and transport of suspended matter have been

On the absorption of light in the Orinoco River plume
Continental Shelf Research, 2007Abstract The spectral absorption coefficients of particles (phytoplankton and detritus) and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) were measured in the Orinoco River plume in the Gulf of Paria (GOP) and southeastern Caribbean (SEC) Sea in the wet (June, October) and dry (February, March) seasons of 1998, 1999, and 2000.

Tidal Modulation of the Fraser River Plume
Journal of Geophysical Research: OceansAbstractProperties of the Fraser River plume in the Strait of Georgia, BC, are significantly influenced by the tide. However, the dynamics and magnitude of this tidal influence on the plume area are not known. Here, we use 17 years of daily satellite observations of suspended particulate matter to understand the tidal variability of the plume area.

The bulge circulation in the Columbia River plume
Continental Shelf Research, 2009Abstract While most numerical and laboratory models of coastal river inflows result in the generation of a large anticyclonic bulge near the mouth of the river, evidence of such a feature in field observations is scant. Here, results from a series of approximately shore-parallel transects 20 km west of the mouth of the Columbia River are presented ...

Characteristics of the Great Whale River plume
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1981Observations of the motion field and dilution effects associated with the plume of Great Whale River in Hudson Bay are presented for both open water and ice‐covered conditions. In the summer months a distinct plume of about 100 km2 in area is formed offshore which is characterized by a 1–2 m thickness and large velocities directed away from the river ...
