Dear Colleagues,

The Physical Oceanography within the Journal of atmosphere and Oceanography will accept review articles, research articles, and all studies that provide original and valuables contributions in areas related to physical conditions and processes of the ocean and operating at its boundaries, especially the ocean circulation and physical properties of ocean waters. Contributions can include topics in descriptive and dynamical physical oceanography and can be focused on deep ocean and broader scales through to shallow waters and local scales, including coastal zones and estuarine systems. Theoretical, observational (in situ or remote sensing monitoring) and modelling studies are all welcome, especially those that focus on elucidating specific physical processes and its contribution to understand the ocean dynamics. Papers that investigate interactions with other components of the Earth system (e.g., ocean–atmosphere, physical–biological, and physical–chemical interactions) as well as studies of other fluid systems (e.g., lakes and laboratory tanks) are also invited, as long as their focus is on understanding the ocean or its role in the Earth system
