Ocean Observations, Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Oceans cover more than 70% of the world's surface. Ocean observation is very important for marine scientific research, marine engineering planning and construction, and maritime safety. Advances in ocean observation instruments and technology have led to faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive ocean observations; however, ocean observation instruments are often limited by battery capacity, data storage, and transmission, and cannot conduct observations more effectively. The development of ocean energy and its combination with energy storage systems may be able to meet the needs of ocean observation systems. This Special Issue, "Ocean Observations, Second Edition", welcomes (but is not limited to) papers on various ocean observation results and their applications, the development or improvement of ocean observation instruments and technology, and ocean energy, among other topics.

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.
