The resulting body of polluted water within an aquifer is called a plume, with its migrating edges called plume fronts. Plumes are used to locate, map, and measure water pollution within the aquifer's total body of water, and plume fronts to determine directions and speed of the contamination's spreading in it. [3]
Salt-wedge fronts: A salt-wedge front is often related to a plume front. Weak tidal motions allow the mixing between the saline and fresh water to be limited, which in addition to the outflowing freshwater allows an inflow of saline water along the bottom of the estuary.
Kodor river plume. 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. [1] River plumes are formed in coastal sea areas at many regions in the World. River plumes generally occupy wide-but-shallow sea surface layers bounded by sharp density gradients.
Other names for this phenomenon are tropical plume, tropical connection, moisture plume, water vapor surge, and cloud band. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Composite satellite photos of an atmospheric river connecting Asia to North America in October 2017
Coastal polynyas are produced in the Antarctic by katabatic winds Katabatic wind spilling off an ice shelf A frosty Arctic condensation plume marks this polynya near the west shore of Hudson Bay. This one (and others nearby) are likely kept open by tidal currents. Mile-high west-facing aerial view.
A pilot on a Hawaiian Airlines flight said a plume-like cloud “shot” in front of the plane moments before severe turbulence last month, federal officials said Friday.
Frontogenesis is a meteorological process of tightening of horizontal temperature gradients to produce fronts. In the end, two types of fronts form: cold fronts and warm fronts. A cold front is a narrow line where temperature decreases rapidly. A warm front is a narrow line of warmer temperatures and essentially where much of the precipitation ...
