Abstract
For the Pearl River plume the supercritical distinct plume front appears in downwellingfavorable winds which is easily observed due to the distinct boundary between the plume water and the ambient water In this paper in situ and satellite observations of a plume front are utilized to explore the Pearl River plume front properties under the downwellingfavorable winds Field observations clearly show frontal structure especially the twolayer structure in the plume water and the downward motion of water in the frontal region The Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar ASAR images are also analyzed to unveil the plume front there is a white stripe on the west side out of the river mouth under downwellingfavorable winds which is identified as a supercritical plume front and the width of the plume front is about 250 m The normalized velocity gradient shows the intense velocity convergence in the front region Also analyses of ASAR images imply that the river discharge plays an important role in controlling the location and shape of the front
