Abstract
► Real-time oceanographic data record quasi-continuous gravity flows. ► Gravity flows occur during the freshet and spring flood tides. ► Tides and elevated river discharge trigger gravity flows. ► Hypopycnal plumes and resuspended bottom sediments contribute to gravity flows. ► Gravity flows are confined to the upper delta front.
