Marine meteorology is a subfield of meteorology, which deals with the weather and climate and the associated processes in the ocean environment. The physical processes and observations are fundamental of marine meteorology predictions in support of all marine and coastal activities, including shipping, fishing, tourism, offshore oil drilling and mining operations, oil spill control, offshore wind and tidal energy harvesting, search and rescue at sea, and naval operations. However, it is always challenging to understand the atmospheric variability over the ocean and complex interplay of the dynamic and thermodynamic processes in the marine environment.
Marine meteorology concerns the ocean, atmosphere, and their interactions. Hence, this Research Topic is devoted to meteorological processes over the ocean and coastal regions. Contributions in all experimental, observational, modeling, and theoretical developments in this field are welcome. Studies in advanced observations such as remote sensing, novel technologies such as machine learning, and advanced understandings of significant variability of marine processes are especially welcome. Analyses of high winds, wind surges, tropical cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, fog, lightning, and thunderstorm over the ocean are relevant to academic interests and practical applications. Consequently, this Research Topic highlights the observations and modeling of physical processes in the marine environment. The expected result will contribute to broadening a global vision of marine meteorology and guiding best decisions for human activities relevant to the marine environment. It will further advance observational techniques as well as modeling and forecasting methodologies applied to the open sea and coastal regions.
Research in marine meteorology focuses on the fundamental atmospheric processes over the ocean and interactions between the atmosphere and the ocean. Some of main topics in observations, and modeling of physical processes include:
• High winds over the sea;
• Wind surges and coastally-trapped disturbances;
• Tropical cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons;
• Sea fog;
• Convection and precipitation over the sea;
• Thunderstorm and lightning in marine environment;
• Air-sea interaction;
• Heat waves;
• Coastal meteorology; and
• Other relevant marine meteorological processes.
We welcome authors to submit their work in this and all other fields of marine meteorology and contribute to its advancement.
