Ocean Modelling is an international journal that highlights the significant findings and breakthroughs in all aspects of ocean modelling research to support the advancement of ocean sciences.

Ocean Modelling welcomes submissions in various forms of mechanism analysis, laboratory experiments, ocean model development, improvements and applications, as well as model-observation synergies. In particular, ocean model applications at different scales that aim at understanding the ocean and Earth system and its coupling to biological, geological and chemical systems are welcome. Special attention can be also given to interdisciplinary contributions focusing on interactions between physics, biology and chemistry, cross-scale processes, and machine learning.

The journal publishes topics including:

  • Models of ocean circulation, surface waves, tides and sea ice, marine ecosystems, biogeochemical processes, sediment processes, and coastal morphology.

  • Earth system models, ocean-atmosphere coupled models, and climate models with a special emphasis on the role of the ocean.

  • Innovative modelling, combined with observational, theoretical studies concerning physical and biogeochemical processes in different time and space scales.

  • Technologies associated with ocean model development, (e.g., model framework, coupler, data assimilation, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence).

  • Simulation, prediction and response strategy of ocean and climate disasters like tsunamis, flooding, volcano eruptions, float stone, marine heat waves, oil spill movements, etc.

  • Improved understanding of the variability in the ocean and its past, present and future role in the wider climate system using models and observations.

    • Topical Collections will be envisaged for timely topics, related to ocean modelling, to promote key advances in specific research areas in ocean modelling and to bring together high-quality contributions in the collection's domain. Ocean Modelling welcome submissions to the 3 ongoing Topical Collections: Cross-Scale Processes in Ocean Modelling, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Methods and Applications for Ocean Modelling, Advancements in Earth System Modelling with Ocean Components.

    Ocean Modelling publishes 12 issues per year with 4 categories of articles, including:

    1. Research Papers form the core of the journal, with a typical length of 6000 words and a maximum of 10000 words.

    2. Reviews are between 8000 and 20000 words, on topics cross traditional lines.

    3. Short Communications are short research papers, with a typical length of 2000 words, and a maximum of 5000 words, 3 Figures or Tables.

    4. Perspective papers discuss about subjective positions, viewpoints or new concepts within less than 2000 words.
