prints are not suitable. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figuresthen Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on

For colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from
Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation ofelectronic artwork, please see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.

OCÉANISPLENARY SESSIONS, Technical sessions 3,4 & 5 and Special session II Schools and Students
Partnership
Oceanis differs from most classical scientific journals, which present only the results ofresearch. Our journal will publish the proceedings of EMECS7: lecture notes and monographs
on rapidly evolving subjects and reports from sessions.
Its readership comprises research workers in oceanography and students at B.Sc. and M.Sc.
levels, but the journal also targets government engineers, municipal departments, consulting
firms and enterprises.
The disciplines covered by the articles published comprise the whole of oceanography and themarine environment and can deal with subjects within the humanities, including history andanthropology.
The columns of Oceanis are open both to researchers and engineers. Foreign authors may
prefer to submit articles in English, preceded by an abstract in French.
Submission of manuscripts
We are asking to authors to consent to submit us their manuscript saved under Word.
We must in fact obtain an entirely homogeneous presentation of all the articles and possibly
be able to proceed with modifications.
Submission proceeds by post. An electronic version of the paper with figures and tables andtwo hard copies on white A4 paper are to be submitted by the 31st of August 2006 to :Jean-Paul Ducrotoy

FRANCEUse the following guidelines to prepare your article.. Authors can send their article as a
Microsoft (MS) Word document. All correspondence, will be by e-mail to :gemel.ducrotoy@tiscali.fr
The articles once made-up are reproduced by numerical printing.
The authors surnames and first names will have to be followed by their affiliations and theiraddress. The articles will have to be preceded by the key-words in French and in English, by
an abstract of about ten lines, translated into English and French.
The hierarchy of titles and sub-titles will be clearly pointed out and should the occasion arise,with numbers or on a separated table of contents.
The graphic files will be, as much as possible, safeguarded under EPS. The photographs will
be contrasted in black and white (please consult us for photographs in colour). All the figures
as well as their legends will be presented separately but their desirable location in the text will
be clearly indicated. Please use letters at the scale of the drawing in the figures and tables, inorder to take into account a possible reduction.
Capital letters
Please type only in capital letters the first letter of the surnames, heads of chapters and subtitles. Please avoid capital letters that are not necessary and watch to make their use uniform.

Set of initials
Please do not leave neither point, nor space between letters. When a set of initials is not usual,please give a first time the whole appellation followed by the initials which ones will be used
afterwards.
References
The list of references (limited to the ones quoted in the manuscript) will be presented inalphabetical order of authors' names and according to the following examples :Castelbon C., Bourdillon A. & Marquet R., 1983.– Un actotaxigraphe à balayage pour petits
