Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
HF radars are land-based remote sensing instruments characterized by a very high spatial and temporal resolution; they provide synoptic information on the surface current field in coastal areas with unprecedented detail, spanning a wide range of scales, from the basin down to the submesoscale. Such fields are not only invaluable for describing the surface dynamics of coastal areas, but also for studies on physical transport of pollutants, physical–biological interactions, and biological connectivity. In addition to surface currents, HF radars provide information on surface gravity waves and on surface winds, both subjects of strong interest for their important operational utilizations.
In this Special Issue, we would like to focus on established and new applications of such a technology, with a particular attention to the more recent ones, such as wave and wind measurements, HF radar data fusion in the framework of multiplatform observation efforts, HF radar data assimilation into circulation models, HF radar data utilization for studies on physical–biological coupling in coastal areas.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
