Lobe‐cleft instability in the buoyant gravity current generated by estuarine outflow

Gravity currents represent a broad class of geophysical flows including turbidity currents, powder avalanches, pyroclastic flows, sea breeze fronts, haboobs, and river plumes. A defining feature in many gravity currents is the formation of three‐dimensional lobes and clefts along the front and resea...
