Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Because they are ventilated in the Polar regions, a striking feature of the world oceans is that most of the water masses are cold (80% below 5 ºC). The main ventilation sites are in the high latitude Atlantic sector, where the densest water masses are formed in the Antarctic, and the slightly less dense water masses above are formed either north of the Greenland-Scotland Ridge (GSR) or in the Labrador-Irminger basins. The water mass transformations in the high latitude regions are among the key components in the Thermohaline Circulation (THC). Currently, possible changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) are under debate, and this Special Issue aims to contain recent findings in the field of processes related to Thermohaline Circulation with a focus on the bi-polar Atlantic Ocean.
Here, we invite you to submit papers to this Special Issue on Thermohaline Circulation.
Dr. Svein Østerhus
Guest Editor
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 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.
