Aims & Scope

Ocean Dynamics is an international journal that aims to publish high-quality peer-reviewed articles in the following areas of research: Theoretical oceanography, including new theories in ocean dynamics and ocean processes, waves, tides, turbulent mixing, and ocean and coastal circulation. Computational oceanography, including all aspects of numerical ocean modeling, data analysis, data assimilation, and operational ocean forecast systems. Observational oceanography, including new techniques and approaches in measuring oceanic variables, remote sensing, in-situ instruments, and gliders. Interdisciplinary oceanography, including physical-biogeochemistry interactions, land-sea-ice-waves-atmosphere coupling, and all aspects of climate change and its impacts. Topical collections on a particular ocean-related topic or geographical region, especially for papers from international meetings. Please contact the Editor-in-Chief for details.
