Short summary
River plumes can strongly influence coastal dynamics but are poorly resolved in global ocean models. Building on a companion study, we perform high-resolution simulations of the Mississippi–Atchafalaya (M–A) plume with the Model for Prediction Across Scales–Ocean (MPAS–O), a global model, and compare with a limited-domain Regional Ocean Modeling System configuration. MPAS–O qualitatively captures the M–A plume seasonality but fails to generate realistic eddies on the Texas–Louisiana shelf.
