River plumes are generated by the flow of buoyant river water into the coastal ocean, where
they significantly influence water properties and circulation. They comprise dynamically …

The present review is focused on the mesoscale physical processes recognized in the
Western Iberia Ecosystem, complementing earlier reviews dedicated to larger scales …

Abstract The Kara and Laptev seas receive about one half of total freshwater runoff to the
Arctic Ocean from the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena rivers. Discharges of these large rivers form …

Climate change is especially strong in the region of the Arctic Ocean, and will have an
important impact on its thermo‐haline structure. We analyze the results of a hindcast …

The hydrographic structure and offshore extension of freshwater plume discharged from the
Changjiang (also known as the Yangtze) River in the northern East China Sea were …

High‐resolution numerical simulations of the northern Gulf of Mexico region using the Hybrid
Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) were employed to investigate the dynamical processes …

The response of a high discharge river plume to an alongshore ambient flow and wind
forcing is studied with a three‐dimensional numerical model. The study extends prior model …

This paper investigates the interplay between river discharge and winds in forcing coastal
buoyant outflows. During light winds a plume influenced by the Earth's rotation will flow …
