Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Professor Keith Thompson was a highly influential scientist in marine prediction and environmental statistics in Canada and abroad. Professor Thompson made major contributions in an extensive range of research areas, including the modelling and prediction of global, shelf and coastal oceans, data assimilation, environmental statistics, and studies of atmospheric and ocean dynamics. He was also exceptionally successful in providing high-quality mentorship to graduate students and early-career scientists. This Special Issue focuses on marine modelling and environmental statistics in Honour of Professor Thompson. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Development and validation of new numerical methods and data assimilation;
- Predictions and predictability of numerical models;
- Environmental statistics in oceanography;
- Analysis of extreme marine conditions;
- Madden–Julian Oscillation and other climate modes;
- Numerical studies on main processes in atmospheres and oceans;
- Coupling between atmospheric and ocean models;
- Tide–surge interaction over coastal waters.
We cordially invite you to submit high-quality research papers to this Special Issue. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by leading researchers from around the world. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (immediately upon acceptance) and be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles, as well as short communications are welcome.

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.
