The relevance of the studied circulation caused by the water river runoff deals with the anthropological impact on the ecological state of the shelf. River waters, entering into the sea, form mesoscale structures in the delta’s area, characterized by low salinity with a high level of suspended matter and dissolved organic matter. Such structures are called “plume” in modern literature. In this case, the inertial motion of the plume is free to form a rounded area or “bulge” like anticyclonic circ
