The journal publishes results of original investigations, invited reviews, and short letters in the following areas of physical oceanography:
Thermohydrodynamics
of the ocean. (The section on the thermohydrodynamics of the
ocean contains articles on the analytical and numerical methods of
describing the formation of the structure of thermohaline fields and
general circulation, surface and internal waves in a stratified sea,
dynamic stochastic methods for calculating the system of ocean
currents, wave and turbulent structure of boundary layers and the
physical processes of ocean - atmosphere interaction in a broad
range of space-time scales.);
Methods
of processing and analysis of observations of hydrophysical fields.
Experimental and field research;
Results of field studies conducted by research vessels in the
ocean and seas are discussed. Also covered, are results from
processing and analysing large data sets acquired in the framework
of national and international oceanographic programs, such as:
Programs of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO
- in particular - GOOS, Black Sea GOOS (Regional system of
oceanographic observations and services for the Black Sea), Black
Sea Fluxes (Geochemical and sedimentation fluxes in the Black Sea
ecosystem) and GODAR.
Oceanographic projects of the NATO Science for Peace Program (Black
Sea Ecosystem, Processes, Prediction and Operational Data
Management);
Satellite hydrophysics. (General and applied problems associated
with satellite hydrophysics are also highlighted. These aspects
include the development of remote sensing methods for measuring
optico-chemical and biological characteristics of the upper layer of
the ocean, the three-dimensional structure of the field of surface
waves, the field of the near surface wind and the elevation of the
sea surface in the range of meso-scales.);
Mathematical modelling of marine systems. (Mathematical
modelling of marine systems' describes the formation of the
hydrophysical, hydrochemical and hydrobiological structure of the
sea, and their synthesis aiming at the creation of general physico-biogeochemical
models of marine environment for different regions of the World
Ocean.);
Automation of research in seas and oceans.
Also published, are papers devoted to the development of the Global Ocean Observation Systems in different regions, as well as to the development of new methods and measuring devices for field studies and long-term monitoring of marine environments.
In the journal, special attention is paid to results of regional
studies in the Black, Azov and Mediterranean Seas, which are subject
to intense anthropogenic impact. Physical oceanography problems
related to the development of numerical models of physico-biogeochemical
processes are discussed in some papers. These models are built upon
the analysis and generalisation of available experimental data,
experience gained in mathematical modelling, modelling complex
marine biosystems and remote sensing studies, for which the Black
Sea can serve not only as an object of investigations but also as a
testing arena.
Selected papers are devoted to the problems of climatic variability
of major hydrometeorological fields that occur as a result of
natural and man-induced processes; to the creation of special
climatic databases, which are used for the solution of various
oceanographic and climatic problems; and to the development of new
methods and models for marine ecosystem diagnosis and forecasting.
