海洋模型的主要目的是通過直接觀察、分析、數(shù)值或?qū)嶒?yàn)室模型，包括物理和生物地球化學(xué)或生物現(xiàn)象之間的相互作用，在對海洋模型感興趣的人之間提供迅速的交流。由于海洋和大氣之間有著密切的聯(lián)系，對兩種介質(zhì)對另一種的影響感興趣的科學(xué)家的參與是受歡迎的。該雜志的范圍很廣，包括各種形式的海洋-大氣相互作用以及純海洋結(jié)果。除了主要的同行評審論文，該雜志還提供評審論文、初步溝通和討論。作者被邀請?zhí)峤粩?shù)據(jù)文件、模型動畫或其他只支持他們提交的電子信息。

The main objective of Ocean Modelling is to provide rapid communication between those interested in ocean modelling, whether through direct observation, or through analytical, numerical or laboratory models, and including interactions between physical and biogeochemical or biological phenomena. Because of the intimate links between ocean and atmosphere, involvement of scientists interested in influences of either medium on the other is welcome. The journal has a wide scope and includes ocean-atmosphere interaction in various forms as well as pure ocean results. In addition to primary peer-reviewed papers, the journal provides review papers, preliminary communications, and discussions. Authors are invited to submit datafiles, model animations or other electronic-only information in support of their submission.
