 along the northern hemisphere storm track. There are no mountains or  
 land-sea contrast in this calculation, but you can easily put them in. The  
 model is driven by relaxation to a radiative-convective equilibrium profile,  
 following the description set out in Held and Suarez; 1994 designed to test  
 atmospheric hydrodynamical cores - there are no mountains or land-sea  
 contrast. As decribed in Adcroft (2001), a `cubed sphere' is used to  
 descretize the globe permitting a uniform gridding and obviated the need to  
 fourier filter.

161    (blue) and warm air along an equatorial band (red). Fully developed
162    baroclinic eddies spawned in the northern hemisphere storm track are
163    evident. There are no mountains or land-sea contrast in this calculation,
164    but you can easily put them in. The model is driven by relaxation to a
165    radiative-convective equilibrium profile, following the description set out
166    in Held and Suarez; 1994 designed to test atmospheric hydrodynamical cores -

173    As described in Adcroft (2001), a `cubed sphere' is used to discretize the
174    globe permitting a uniform griding and obviated the need to Fourier filter.
175    The `vector-invariant' form of MITgcm supports any orthogonal curvilinear
176    grid, of which the cubed sphere is just one of many choices.

178    Figure \ref{fig:hs_zave_u} shows the 5-year mean, zonally averaged zonal
179    wind from a 20-level configuration of
180    the model. It compares favorable with more conventional spatial
181    discretization approaches. The two plots show the field calculated using the
182    cube-sphere grid and the flow calculated using a regular, spherical polar
183    latitude-longitude grid. Both grids are supported within the model.

220    represent topography on a regular $lat-lon$ grid extending from 70$^{\circ
221    }N $ to 70$^{\circ }S$. The model is driven using monthly-mean winds with
222    mixed boundary conditions on temperature and salinity at the surface. The
223    transfer properties of ocean eddies, convection and mixing is parameterized
224    in this model.

227    circulation of the global ocean in Sverdrups.

233    \subsection{Convection and mixing over topography}
234    
235    Dense plumes generated by localized cooling on the continental shelf of the
236    ocean may be influenced by rotation when the deformation radius is smaller
237    than the width of the cooling region. Rather than gravity plumes, the
238    mechanism for moving dense fluid down the shelf is then through geostrophic
239    eddies. The simulation shown in the figure \ref{fig:convect-and-topo}
240    (blue is cold dense fluid, red is
241    warmer, lighter fluid) employs the non-hydrostatic capability of MITgcm to
242    trigger convection by surface cooling. The cold, dense water falls down the
243    slope but is deflected along the slope by rotation. It is found that
244    entrainment in the vertical plane is reduced when rotational control is
245    strong, and replaced by lateral entrainment due to the baroclinic
246    instability of the along-slope current.

 \end{figure}  
253    
254    The unique ability of MITgcm to treat non-hydrostatic dynamics in the
255    presence of complex geometry makes it an ideal tool to study internal wave
256    dynamics and mixing in oceanic canyons and ridges driven by large amplitude
257    barotropic tidal currents imposed through open boundary conditions.
258    
259    Fig. \ref{fig:boundary-forced-wave} shows the influence of cross-slope
260    topographic variations on
261    internal wave breaking - the cross-slope velocity is in color, the density
262    contoured. The internal waves are excited by application of open boundary
263    conditions on the left. They propagate to the sloping boundary (represented
264    using MITgcm's finite volume spatial discretization) where they break under
265    nonhydrostatic dynamics.

271    \subsection{Parameter sensitivity using the adjoint of MITgcm}
272    
273    Forward and tangent linear counterparts of MITgcm are supported using an
274    `automatic adjoint compiler'. These can be used in parameter sensitivity and
275    data assimilation studies.
276    
277    As one example of application of the MITgcm adjoint, Figure \ref{fig:hf-sensitivity}
278    maps the gradient $\frac{\partial J}{\partial \mathcal{H}}$where $J$ is the magnitude
279    of the overturning stream-function shown in figure \ref{fig:large-scale-circ}
280    at 60$^{\circ }$N and $
281    \mathcal{H}(\lambda,\varphi)$ is the mean, local air-sea heat flux over
282    a 100 year period. We see that $J$ is
283    sensitive to heat fluxes over the Labrador Sea, one of the important sources
284    of deep water for the thermohaline circulations. This calculation also
285    yields sensitivities to all other model parameters.

290    
291    \subsection{Global state estimation of the ocean}
292    
293    An important application of MITgcm is in state estimation of the global
294    ocean circulation. An appropriately defined `cost function', which measures
295    the departure of the model from observations (both remotely sensed and
296    in-situ) over an interval of time, is minimized by adjusting `control
297    parameters' such as air-sea fluxes, the wind field, the initial conditions
298    etc. Figure \ref{fig:assimilated-globes} shows an estimate of the time-mean
299    surface elevation of the ocean obtained by bringing the model in to
300    consistency with altimetric and in-situ observations over the period
301    1992-1997. {\bf CHANGE THIS TEXT - FIG FROM PATRICK/CARL/DETLEF}

307    \subsection{Ocean biogeochemical cycles}
308    
309    MITgcm is being used to study global biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. For
310    example one can study the effects of interannual changes in meteorological
311    forcing and upper ocean circulation on the fluxes of carbon dioxide and
312    oxygen between the ocean and atmosphere. Figure \ref{fig:biogeo} shows
313    the annual air-sea flux of oxygen and its relation to density outcrops in
314    the southern oceans from a single year of a global, interannually varying
315    simulation. The simulation is run at $1^{\circ}\times1^{\circ}$ resolution
316    telescoping to $\frac{1}{3}^{\circ}\times\frac{1}{3}^{\circ}$ in the tropics (not shown).

322    \subsection{Simulations of laboratory experiments}
323    
324    Figure \ref{fig:lab-simulation} shows MITgcm being used to simulate a
325    laboratory experiment inquiring in to the dynamics of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). An
326    initially homogeneous tank of water ($1m$ in diameter) is driven from its
327    free surface by a rotating heated disk. The combined action of mechanical
328    and thermal forcing creates a lens of fluid which becomes baroclinically
329    unstable. The stratification and depth of penetration of the lens is
330    arrested by its instability in a process analogous to that which sets the
331    stratification of the ACC.
