river Rhine mouth
Southern North Sea

Comment
The plume is modulated by the tidal cycle in that area, thus leading to parallel bright lines, which are caused by local shear currents. In the right image centre the plume can be clearly delineated through the presence of marine surface films that are driven away from the river mouth.
