A river plume is a freshened water mass that is formed in the sea as a result of mixing of river discharge and saline seawater. River plumes are formed in coastal sea areas at many regions in the World. River plumes generally occupy wide, but shallow sea surface layer bounded by sharp density gradient. The area of a river plume is 3-5 orders of magnitude greater than its depth, therefore, even small rivers with discharge rates ~1–10 m/s form river plumes with horizontal spatial extents ~10–100 m. Areas of river plumes formed by the largest World rivers are ~100–1000 km2. Despite relatively small volume of total freshwater runoff to the World Ocean, river plumes occupy up to 21% of shelf areas of the World Ocean, i.e., several million square kilometers.

  • Речной плюм — опреснённая водная масса, образующаяся в море в результате перемешивания речного стока и солёных морских вод.Речные плюмы формируются в прибрежных морских акваториях во многих регионах мира и, в большинстве случаев, представляют собой большой по площади, но тонкий поверхностный слой моря, обособленный градиентом плотности от нижележащих морских вод.
