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 …

Turbulence in geophysical flows tends to organize itself so that the mean flow remains close
to a stability boundary in parameter space. That characteristic suggests self-organized …

Frontal processes play a significant role in estuarine and coastal ecosystem dynamics. In
this study, a hydrodynamic model of the Changjiang River plume was developed based on …

This study analyzed the hydrodynamic structure of the estuary and plume of a large, tropical,
and strongly-stratified river, the Magdalena. The Magdalena River is the largest source of …

The mixing of river plumes into the coastal ocean influences the fate of riverborne tracers
over the inner shelf, though the relative importance of mixing mechanisms under different …

The interfaces between small river plumes and ambient seawater have extremely sharp
horizontal and vertical salinity gradients, often accompanied by velocity shear. It results in …

This study uses drifter‐based observations to investigate the role of wind and waves on
spreading and mixing in the Fraser River plume. Local winter wind patterns commonly result …

The validation of ocean color satellite retrievals generally relies on analyzing match-ups
between in situ measurements and satellite retrievals. These analyses focus on the quality …
