(a) Surface (the top two layers) mean distributions of salinity in the typical hypopycnal plume case at 16:00 LT on September 16. (b) As (a), but for the salinity difference from WOS. (c) As (a), but for the typical hyperpycnal plume case at 12:00 LT on September 16. (d) As (c), but for the salinity difference from WOS. (e) Vertical salinity distribution along the center section of the river plume indicated by the black line on (a). The black line is the main streamline of the riverine output flows determined by the SSM concentration, the flow speed, and the sea surface height maxima. (f) As (e), but for the salinity difference from WOS. (g) As (e), but for the typical hyperpycnal plume case. (h) As (g), but for the salinity difference from WOS. Note that the blue–red color scale of salinity differences differs by one order of magnitude in the hypopycnal and hyperpycnal cases. This figure was prepared with matplotlib ver. 3.3.1 in Python ver. 3.7.6.
