Ocean Observation

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding the oceans, which make up more than 71 percent of the earth's surface, depends heavily on the development of sensors. There are many kinds of sensors to monitor ocean hydrologic, biological, chemical and geological changes, and the observation methods include remote sensing, shipborne observation, in situ observation, manned deep-sea observation, etc. Sensor types and observation methods are developing rapidly. As human beings rely more and more on ocean resources, environment and world peace, various new sensors keep emerging, multiple-sensor-integrated observations continue to improve, and the accuracy of ocean numerical simulators based on sensor data keeps improving. A multi-source data fusion era of ocean big data is coming.

The aim of this Special Issue is to represent the latest advances in ocean observation technology. We welcome contributions in all fields of ocean observation, including new sensors, integrated systems, numerical simulators and big data as well as new applications. Those include but are not limited to:

• Ocean remote sensing;
• Air–sea interaction observation;
• Hydrology sensors;
• Biosensors;
• Chemosensors;
• Seabed sensors;
• Multistatic signal processing;
• Data interpretation models;
• Numerical simulators;
• Ocean big data.

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. Sensors 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.
