Description
Research related to the physics of the ocean and to processes operating
at its boundaries. Observational, theoretical, and modeling studies are
all welcome, especially those that focus on elucidating specific
physical processes. Papers that investigate interactions with other
components of the earth system (e.g., ocean–atmosphere,
physical–biological and physical–chemical interactions) as well as
studies of other fluid systems (e.g., lakes and laboratory tanks) are
also invited, as long as their focus is on understanding the ocean or
the ocean's role in the earth system.
