TLDR
In this paper, the authors analyse remotely sensed sea surface temperature, sea level anomaly, salinity and chlorophyll concentration from 2010 to describe and quantify the extent, strength and seasonality of the plume and to explain its behaviour in relation to winds, ocean currents and fresh water discharge.About:

Variability of chlorophyll-a concentration in the Gulf of Guinea and its relation to physical oceanographic variables
Karen Nieto,Frédéric Mélin +1 more
TL;DR: Satellite data were used to characterize the oceanography of the Gulf of Guinea and ocean color CCI Chla offered unprecedented data coverage and the impact of river outflow was significant mostly from Nigeria to Gabon.

River plume dynamics in the Kara Sea from altimetry-based lagrangian model, satellite salinity and chlorophyll data.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the interannual variability of the river plume dynamics in the Kara Sea using multi-satellite observations and introduce particle-tracking model for pathways calculation of the plume propagation that is based on satellite altimetry and wind data reanalysis.
