Offshore Spreading of a Supercritical Plume Under Upwelling Wind Forcing: A Case Study of the Winyah Bay Outflow

Offshore Spreading of a Supercritical Plume Under Upwelling Wind Forcing: A Case Study of the Winyah Bay Outflow

In this study, we present observations of the Winyah Bay (WB) plume (SC, United States) formed by high freshwater discharge and a moderate upwelling-favorable wind acting continuously for ∼1.5 days prior to the shipboard survey. If a similar wind forcing persists over a longer period, the plume turn...
