Frontiers in Physical Oceanography
This special issue belongs to the section “Physical Oceanography“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical oceanography focuses on describing and understanding the physical properties and dynamic processes of the oceans, including surface and internal waves, ocean circulation, air–sea interactions, mesoscale eddies, density fronts, submesoscale processes, turbulent mixing, etc. These dynamic processes and their interactions over a wide range of space and time scales sustainably contribute to the mass transport and energy cycle in the ocean, as well as their impacts on climate change, the marine ecological environment, and offshore engineering. Benefiting from the developments of observational and computing technologies, the understanding of physical processes and their climatic and ecological effects have achieved a great progress in the last several decades. Not limited to the aspects mentioned above, the Physical Oceanography Section of this JMSE welcomes the submission of papers on a wide range of topics associated with the latest advances in descriptive or dynamical oceanography, indicating new insights, problems, methods or products, etc. to this Special Issue.

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 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.
