Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Operational Oceanography focuses on the study of oceanographic processes and their impacts. Recent articles investigate the variability of physicochemical and productivity characteristics in various ocean basins, including the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf. Research also examines the environmental drivers of harmful algal blooms, the impact of extreme climate events on coastal lagoons, and the application of numerical models for ocean dynamics and wave forecasting. Additionally, the journal covers topics related to ship energy efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions in oceanic voyages.
