Does the plume always follow the same path?
Just like the smoke plumes, the river plume can travel different directions and varying distances depending on wind direction and speed.
The image on the right was taken 3 days after the image on the left. You can see the original plume heading South along the coast of New Jersey, but as the winds changed direction, a new plume formed heading East with the wind.
