Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Large-scale ocean circulation is a key factor in understanding the links among distant regions of the earth and the influence of the ocean on weather, climate, and ecosystems. Recent advances have allowed climate models to resolve mesoscale eddies (10–100 km) in the ocean on decadal to centennial timescales, allowing investigations of complex interaction mechanisms involving air–sea and eddy–mean-flow interactions.
These computational improvements have been accompanied by innovations and enhanced synergies in the global observing system, including satellite altimetry, ships of opportunity, moorings, and Argo and other autonomous vehicles.
For this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of papers that utilize in situ, satellite, and numerical models to improve the understanding of the oceanic and atmospheric drivers of large-scale ocean circulation, and to study the influence of heat and freshwater content variability on climate and society.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Geosciences 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.
