Modeling the buoyancy-driven flow due to river discharge on the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico /

The buoyancy-driven flow due to river discharge from the Mississippi-Atchafalaya Rivers and the effect of wind forcing on the existing river plume over the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf are studied by using a three-dimensional, nonlinear primitive-equation ocean model. The model uses a horizonta...
