The Columbia River as a source of marine light scattering particles

The Columbia River plume region was investigated during the
period of 20 June to 3 July, 1968 by light scattering measurements
and standard hydrographic station observations. The Columbia
River plume was traced by the light scattering particles of the plume
water. The light scattering particles are estimated to be contained
in the plume water for 30 to 50 days. On the basis of the data taken
in the Columbia River plume region, a conceptual model is made to
describe the flow of river originated particles to the ocean water.
In the distribution of the light scattering particles a northward deep
current under the plume near the river mouth and a subsurface offshore
flow near the bottom of the Columbia River plume are
shown. / Graduation date: 1970
