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 …

Bars and subaqueous levees often form at river mouths due to high sediment availability.
Once these deposits emerge and develop into islands, they become important elements of …

Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio‐deltaic
morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the …

River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems (RISE) is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary
study of the rates and dynamics governing the mixing of river and coastal waters in an …

A monthlong time series of wave, current, salinity, and suspended‐sediment measurements
was made at five sites on a transect across the Mouth of Columbia River (MCR). These data …

The Columbia River plume is typical of large-scale, high discharge, mid-latitude plumes. In
the absence of strong upwelling winds, freshwater from the river executes a rightward turn …

Time‐dependent buoyant plumes form at the outflow of tidally dominated estuaries. When
estuary discharge velocity exceeds plume internal wave speed c, a sharp front forms at the …

We have studied the seasonal variability of four turbid river plumes along the central Chilean
coast using daily, high-resolution images of surface turbidity from MODIS (Moderate …

Climatological hydrographic data for the southeastern Pacific from the World Ocean Atlas
show an extended low-salinity region associated with high rainfall/river runoff along the …

We use near simultaneous ocean color satellite imagery from NASA's Landsat 8 and ESA's
Sentinel-2 missions to reconstruct surface currents along the northeastern shore of the Black …
