Advances in Ocean Circulation Studies

Dear Colleagues,

During the last 50 years, important progress in measurement techniques (both in situ and remote) has enabled the oceanographic community to resolve and understand to a large extent mesoscale and submesoscale processes. This especially applies to remote sensing techniques. Moreover, massive in situ ocean-wide Lagrangian (drifters and floats) and Eulerian measurements have provided complementary observations to the remote sensing techniques and an overview of large oceanic areas. Mesoscale and submesoscale features contribute substantially to energy and passive organic and inorganic material transfer. The aim of this Special Issue is to address the formation, evolution and interaction with the mean flow of these structures and their impact on the spatial distribution of inorganic and biological material as well as on primary production in the ocean.

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. Water 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.
