 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

 descretize the globe permitting a uniform gridding and obviated the need to

151    
152    Baroclinic instability is a ubiquitous process in the ocean, as well as the
153    atmosphere. Ocean eddies play an important role in modifying the
154    hydrographic structure and current systems of the oceans. Coarse resolution
155    models of the oceans cannot resolve the eddy field and yield rather broad,
156    diffusive patterns of ocean currents. But if the resolution of our models is
157    increased until the baroclinic instability process is resolved, numerical
158    solutions of a different and much more realistic kind, can be obtained.
159    
160    Fig. ?.? shows the surface temperature and velocity field obtained from
161    MITgcm run at $\frac{1}{6}^{\circ }$ horizontal resolution on a $lat-lon$
162    grid in which the pole has been rotated by 90$^{\circ }$ on to the equator
163    (to avoid the converging of meridian in northern latitudes). 21 vertical
164    levels are used in the vertical with a `lopped cell' representation of
165    topography. The development and propagation of anomalously warm and cold
166    eddies can be clearly been seen in the Gulf Stream region. The transport of
167    warm water northward by the mean flow of the Gulf Stream is also clearly
168    visible.

194  \end{figure}  Dense plumes generated by localized cooling on the continental shelf of the

197  \begin{center}  mechanism for moving dense fluid down the shelf is then through geostrophic
198  \resizebox{!}{4in}{  eddies. The simulation shown in the figure (blue is cold dense fluid, red is
199   \rotatebox{90}{  warmer, lighter fluid) employs the non-hydrostatic capability of MITgcm to

228    \subsection{Parameter sensitivity using the adjoint of MITgcm}
229    
230    Forward and tangent linear counterparts of MITgcm are supported using an
231    `automatic adjoint compiler'. These can be used in parameter sensitivity and
232    data assimilation studies.
233    
234    As one example of application of the MITgcm adjoint, Fig.E4 maps the
235    gradient $\frac{\partial J}{\partial \mathcal{H}}$where $J$ is the magnitude
236    of the overturning streamfunction shown in fig?.? at 40$^{\circ }$N and $
237    \mathcal{H}$ is the air-sea heat flux 100 years before. We see that $J$ is
238    sensitive to heat fluxes over the Labrador Sea, one of the important sources
239    of deep water for the thermohaline circulations. This calculation also
240    yields sensitivities to all other model parameters.

246    \subsection{Global state estimation of the ocean}
247    
248    An important application of MITgcm is in state estimation of the global
249    ocean circulation. An appropriately defined `cost function', which measures
250    the departure of the model from observations (both remotely sensed and
251    insitu) over an interval of time, is minimized by adjusting `control
252    parameters' such as air-sea fluxes, the wind field, the initial conditions
253    etc. Figure ?.? shows an estimate of the time-mean surface elevation of the
254    ocean obtained by bringing the model in to consistency with altimetric and
255    in-situ observations over the period 1992-1997.

261    \subsection{Ocean biogeochemical cycles}
262    
263    MITgcm is being used to study global biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. For
264    example one can study the effects of interannual changes in meteorological
265    forcing and upper ocean circulation on the fluxes of carbon dioxide and
266    oxygen between the ocean and atmosphere. The figure shows the annual air-sea
267    flux of oxygen and its relation to density outcrops in the southern oceans
268    from a single year of a global, interannually varying simulation.

274    \subsection{Simulations of laboratory experiments}
275    
276    Figure ?.? shows MITgcm being used to simulate a laboratory experiment
277    enquiring in to the dynamics of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). An
278    initially homogeneous tank of water ($1m$ in diameter) is driven from its
279    free surface by a rotating heated disk. The combined action of mechanical
280    and thermal forcing creates a lens of fluid which becomes baroclinically
281    unstable. The stratification and depth of penetration of the lens is
282    arrested by its instability in a process analogous to that whic sets the
283    stratification of the ACC.
