About the journal
Aims & scope

Physical Limnology: Monitoring & Methods is a fictional peer-reviewed journal created for use in educational modules on physical limnology, aquatic hydrodynamics, and environmental sensing. The journal provides students with a realistic publication environment in which to develop scientific writing and critical review skills.

The journal publishes original research, methodological papers, and technical notes addressing the physical dynamics of lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, rivers, and streams. Contributions may employ numerical simulations, field measurement campaigns, laboratory experiments, or novel instrumentation.

Coverage spans all scales of aquatic physical processes, from near-bed turbulence and bottom boundary layers to basin-scale circulation and interbasin exchange. Special emphasis is placed on contributions that advance monitoring technologies, open-source data acquisition tools, and reproducible field or laboratory methods.
