Surface salinity snapshots of the plume development in the presence of an estuary (left) and a delta (right), after 30 days. The delta has the effect of enlarging the anticyclonic bulge that develops off the freshwater source. The absence of the coastal wall right at the river mouth allows the development of an upstream anticyclonic cell. The coastal current takes longer to attach to the coast, creating a weak recirculation region in the lee of the delta.
