Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the last 50 years, important progress in measurement techniques (both in situ and remote) has enabled the oceanographic community to resolve and understand to a large extent mesoscale and submesoscale processes. This especially applies to remote sensing techniques. Moreover, massive in situ ocean-wide Lagrangian (drifters and floats) and Eulerian measurements have provided complementary observations to the remote sensing techniques and an overview of large oceanic areas. Mesoscale and submesoscale features contribute substantially to energy and passive organic and inorganic material transfer. The aim of this Special Issue is to address the formation, evolution and interaction with the mean flow of these structures and their impact on the spatial distribution of inorganic and biological material as well as on primary production in the ocean.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This work is related to the growing interest in the identification of upwelling periods in the Galician SW coast, since these are linked to the great biodiversity and richness of its waters. This paper aims to assess the feasibility of using meteorological data for the estimation of upwelling events in a robust, reliable, real-time and low-cost way. For this purpose, the quality of meteorological data from eight land stations and five coastal buoys located in the surroundings of the study area has been evaluated. This process was made by confronting the result of the meteorological-derived upwelling index calculation against the values provided by two reference oceanic models. In addition, the availability of historical data series has also been considered to finally select the data source that best describes the upwelling phenomena in the Toralla area. The results show that, of the sources studied, those that best meet the criteria of wide data availability and good estimation of the upwelling index are the Ons and Sálvora land stations; therefore, the former was chosen as the main source and the latter as a support. Coastal buoys were discarded due to the uncertainty regarding the availability and access to meteorological data. Full article
