Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Applied Ocean Research publishes studies on oceanographic phenomena, including wave prediction, sea surface temperature analysis, and upper-ocean temperature profile reconstruction. It also covers fluid dynamics, such as flow around cylinders and wave energy conversion, and the behavior of marine structures and materials. The journal features research on coastal processes, including typhoon wind estimation and sediment transport, as well as the interaction of submersibles with internal waves.
