Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims at presenting methods, approaches, and results of numerical simulation of sea dynamics. By “sea dynamics”, we mean all kinds of processes in a sea or ocean, including (but not limited to) currents, salinity, sea ice, tracer advection, waves, pelagic, sympagic, and benthic biogeochemical phenomena. Every sea has its own specifics, and we encourage papers on overcoming difficulties of these aspects. Additionally, as the availability and power of multiprocessor computers grow so quickly, we invite papers on high-resolution models, comprehensive coupled models, and on other benefits offered by computing power.

Original papers and thematic reviews are accepted.

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.

In this paper, a numerical model of the White Sea is presented. The White Sea is a small shallow sea with strong tidal currents and complex ice behavior. The model is the only comprehensive numerical model for the White Sea. It consists of several coupled submodels (for water, ice, pelagic, and sympagic ecology). In this work, the focus is on the dynamics of sea ice and its ecosystem. The model is described and its results are compared to available sea–ice data, mostly satellite data. The spatial resolution of the model is 3 km. High current velocities require the time step of 3 min. The model is shown to reproduce sea–ice concentration well; in particular, timing of the sea ice is perfect. The dynamics of the sea–ice ecosystem also looks reasonable. Chlorophyll-a content agrees well with measurements, and the ratio of algal, bacterial, and faunal biomass is correct. Sympagic biomass is underestimated. Light is limiting at the early stage of sympagic bloom, nutrient limitation is for the second half. We show that sympagic component influences the spring bloom (in terms of timing and height of the peaks) but has little effect on the dynamics during the warm period of the year. Full article

This paper presents an assessment of the seasonal variability of the velocity fields, mean and eddy kinetics, and available potential energies, and the energy conversion rates for the eddy and basin-scale circulation regimes. The data were obtained through the numerical modeling of the Black Sea circulation for 2011 and 2016. It revealed significant differences in the current structure in the southern and central sea parts for 2011 and 2016. In 2011, the Rim Current was an almost continuous cyclonic basin-scale gyre, while in 2016 a system of mesoscale anticyclones was observed in the southern part. The variability of the mean kinetic energy depends more on the circulation regime than on the season of the year, while the distribution of the mean available potential energy is predominantly seasonal. The eddy kinetic energy depends on both the circulation regime and the season. In winter, the energy transport from the mean current via a barotropic instability mechanism sustains the mesoscale eddy generation. In summer, the mesoscale variability in the basin-scale regime is provided by commensurate contributions of barotropic and baroclinic instability, and, in the eddy regime, mainly by the energy transport from the available potential energy through the baroclinic instability.
