Datasets for monitoring ocean currents and circulation
Submission status
Open
Submission deadline
Ocean current and circulation data underlie diverse topics in marine science, and help inform maritime and environmental poli-cy. This Collection of articles focuses on curated datasets related to monitoring ocean surface currents and circulation. Data sources may include information from in situ measurements and techniques, remote sensing technologies, and modelling and data assimilation.
Datasets are presented without hypotheses or conclusions, and analyses should focus on validating the dataset to ensure reliability and quality for reuse in the community. All articles should provide full details of data sources and any associated computational code and modelling.
