Airborne Remote Sensing of the Plata Plume Using STARRS
2006
Perez, Tabare | Wesson, Joel C. | Burrage, Derek
The characteristics of plumes discharging from major rivers into the coastal oceans reflect river basin properties and processes, and significantly impact continental shelf circulation and associated marine ecosystems. An international project, La Plata, was undertaken within the South American Climate Change Consortium framework to assess the behavior of the La Plata and Patos Lagoon plumes and their effects on the dynamics of continental shelf waters. The project involved scientists and institutions from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and the United States, combining ship and aerial surveys spanning the region.
