Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Within the relatively young discipline of physical oceanography, during the last few decades, operational oceanography has affirmed itself as a relevant branch due to the increasing variety of downstream services useful for both scientific and socio-economic purposes.
Operational oceanography can be defined as the activity of systematic and long-term routine measurements of the sea, ocean and atmosphere, and their rapid interpretation and dissemination. Physical oceanographic instrumentation is a fundamental pillar of operational oceanography, together with the rapid transmission of observational data to assembly centers, automatic quality control procedures, and their assimilation into numerical models for producing nowcasts, forecasts and hindcasts.
High-quality papers are encouraged for publication, directly related to various aspects, as mentioned above. Papers dealing with novel instruments, methods and techniques are encouraged.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 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.
