Large rivers represent gateways for the transport of terrigenous and anthropogenic material to the coastal ocean. Here we document a ∼700 km2 recirculation or bulge associated with the Columbia River plume that retain ...
Particle resuspension in the Columbia River plume near field

Spahn, Emily Y.; Homer-Devine, Alexander R.; Nash, Jonathan; Jay, David A.; Kilcher, Levi (American Geophysical Union, 2009-11-24)

Measurements of suspended sediment concentration, velocity, salinity, and turbulent microscale shear in the near-field region of the Columbia River plume are used to investigate the mechanisms of sediment resuspension ...
