The discharge of brackish water from estuaries typically forms distinct coastal plumes, often visible through their color signature due to sediment load and particulate matter from rivers. The processes of mixing and dispersion of coastal plumes are subjected to natural variations in the magnitude and timing of freshwater inflows, tides and meteorological conditions. This study presents shipboard observation of the bulge region of a buoyant plume off Winyah Bay, SC. The observation comprises downward looking 600 and 1200 kHz ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) and CTD measurements. Along with standard CTD casts, water samples were collected to analyze and determine …
