Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocean dynamic measures: The dynamics of the North Atlantic Ocean are characterized with several time series, the North Atlantic oscillations, NAO, the Atlantic Multidecadal oscillation, AMO, and the Atlantic Meridional overturning circulation, i.e., the AMOC. Two of the series, the AMO and the AMOC, require several observation points to be constructed, whereas the NAO only measures the sea level pressure at two observation points. In addition to the three major measures, there are measures of ocean dynamics in ocean basins north and south of the North Atlantic that affect the dynamics of the North Atlantic.
Although the three time series give information on the dynamics of the same ocean basin, it is not well known how the dynamics described by the series relates to each other. Do they show similar variability or oscillating behavior? Do they differ in some characteristics on the annual, decadal, multidecadal, and centennial, or millennial scale?
The impacts: The AMOC has been related to paleontological cycles and phenomena, but what these mechanisms are more precisely is unknown. All three time series have been associated with weather phenomena in North Europe and with North European aquatic and terrestrial ecology.
In this Special Issue, we welcome papers that examine the relations between measures of North Atlantic dynamics, both statistically and with models, and we welcome papers that discuss the effects that ocean dynamics have—on all scales—on the climate and the ecology of the North Atlantic.

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. Climate is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
