Ocean Dynamics: Numerical Models and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Recent applications of theoretical, observational, and numerical modeling techniques to ocean processes, as well as several interdisciplinary fields, have led to a more in-depth study of nearshore ocean physics, continental shelf physical processes (such as turbulence and internal waves, tides and internal tides, offshore circulation, fronts, and wind-waves), biogeochemical feedbacks, hydrodynamics and circulation processes, and sub-mesoscale and small-scale dynamics. These play a very important role in improving operational oceanographic services.

This Special Issue on "Ocean Dynamics: Numerical Models and Applications" will focus on both ocean models’ applications and established/new implementations of ocean models. All areas of ocean dynamics, from large ocean circulations to single vortices, or plume structures to small-scale turbulence, are welcome. Papers focusing on theoretical or observational (in situ or remote sensing monitoring or satellite observations) applications and modeling studies; variant numerical methods; and machine learning, artificial intelligence, data assimilation, remote sensing techniques, and applications are also welcome.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
