Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Seawater dynamics affect the marine environment at different spatial and temporal scales from local pollution transport to global climate change. Among other scales, the study of mesoscale changes in the ocean receives growing interest from the scientific community due to significant progress in satellite observations and numerical modelling obtained during last decades. The development of drone technology and ship-based radars hold promise for providing an additional boost to investigations in these field. This Special Issue, entitled “Linking Physical Oceanography and Remote Sensing Technology: Progress and Prospect" aims to gather research on various aspects of ocean physical processes described using remote sensing technology including satellites, drones, and radars. The topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Ocean modelling with remote sensing data assimilation;
  • Measurements of sea surface properties using remote sensing;
  • Ocean circulation;
  • Mesoscale ocean dynamics;
  • Ocean turbulence;
  • Land-ocean and ocean-atmosphere matter and energy exchange.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Large areas of the seafloor in the Laptev Sea consist of submarine permafrost, which has experienced intense degradation over the last decades and centuries. Thermal abrasion of the submarine permafrost results in upward advection of suspended matter, which could reach the surface layer in shallow areas. This process is visually manifested through increased turbidity of the sea surface layer, which is regularly detected in optical satellite imagery of the study areas. In this study, satellite data, wind and wave reanalysis, as well as in situ measurements are analyzed in order to reveal the main mechanisms of seafloor erosion in shallow areas of the Laptev Sea. We describe the synoptic variability in erosion at the Vasilyevskaya and Semenovskaya shoals in response to wind and wave conditions. Finally, using reanalysis data, daily suspended matter flux from this area was evaluated during ice-free periods in 1979–2021, and its seasonal and inter-annual variabilities were described. The obtained results contribute to our understanding of subsea permafrost degradation, the sediment budget, and carbon and nutrient cycles in the Laptev Sea. Full article
