Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Noise is defined as unwanted sound (acoustics) and underwater noise pollution is gradually being recognized as a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems. Underwater noise pollution refers to human-generated noise that contaminates our oceans and their habitats, e.g., many marine mammals and corals. There are four main sources of underwater noise, seismic air gun noise from oil and gas exploration, shipping traffic noise, low-frequency and the mid-frequency sonar ‘sounds’ used extensively in submarine detection, and explosive noise.
Modelling is a powerful technique for humans to represent a real-world object or phenomenon and the mental model, the graphical model and the mathematical model are three popular models. Generally, there are two predominant approaches to build a model, the theoretical approach that derives equations from physics and the experimental approach that derives equations from input/output measured data.
Control is a way to amend the system’s performance through adding functional components and acoustical control can be implemented at three points, at the acoustic source, during the propagation path, and in the acoustic receiver.
This Special Issue will collect the latest high-quality original manuscripts within the research field of underwater noise modelling and control. Authors are invited to present new modelling and control techniques, algorithms, and experimental tests. All original papers related to modelling and control techniques for underwater noise are welcome. Both original research and review articles are all encouraged.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Underwater acoustics instrument
- The application of unmanned vehicle in underwater acoustics measurement
- Underwater wave propagation
- Underwater noise modelling
- Underwater acoustic communication
- Sonar system
- System identification
- Adaptive underwater noise control
- Intelligent systems
- Optimization algorithms
- Underwater acoustic sensor networks

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
