Physical Oceanography of the Arctic Ocean under Conditions of Changing Climate

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the JMSE is focused on the analysis of changes in the marine environment of the Arctic Ocean, under conditions of changing climate. The rapid and unforeseen changes in the Arctic climate system are complex but still poorly understood and require further in-depth evaluation. Therefore, we invite researchers to submit studies dedicated to the analysis of oceanographic and sea ice observations collected in the Arctic Ocean in recent decades, and the modeling of physical processes responsible for the ongoing changes in the physical component of the polar climate system. This Special Issue aims to improve our understanding of the dynamics of the Arctic Ocean, transformations of water masses and their links to processes in sea ice, and the causes and mechanisms of recent changes in the components of the thermal and freshwater balance of the polar basin.

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.
