Plume shapes can be influenced by flow in the ambient fluid (for example, if local wind blowing in the same direction as the plume results in a co-flowing jet). This usually causes a plume which has initially been 'buoyancy-dominated' to become 'momentum-dominated' (this transition is usually predicted by a dimensionless number called the ...
Salinity within a plume is significantly lower than that of surrounding sea water. Structure and dynamical characteristics within a river plume are strongly inhomogeneous. In particular, salinity and velocity fields in the vicinity of a freshwater source are significantly different as compared to the outer parts of a plume.
Australian soldiers in a front-line trench during World War I.Photograph taken by Capt. F. Hurley, sometime between August 1917 and August 1918.. A front line (alternatively front-line or frontline) in military terminology is the position(s) closest to the area of conflict of an armed force's personnel and equipment, usually referring to land forces.
The small particles in the expanding exhaust plume or "cloud" diffract sunlight and produce the rose, blue, green and orange colors—much like a dispersive prism can be used to break light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow) – thereby making the twilight phenomenon all the more spectacular.

The ash is sucked into the engines, where it is melted by the heat of the engine, Power said. The melted ash then coats the inside of the engine, ultimately leading to engine failure.
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.
A plumb bob. A plumb bob, plumb bob level, or plummet, is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, suspended from a string and used as a vertical direction as a reference line, or plumb-line. It is a precursor to the spirit level and used to establish a vertical datum. It is typically made of stone, wood, or lead, but can also be ...
African plumes, the heatwave phenomenon that could sizzle the UK, can make temperatures soar this June and July
