<font size=+1>Welcome to the web page for the development/testing version of MITgcm, |
11 |
a numerical model designed for the study of the atmosphere, ocean, and climate. For an |
12 |
overview, please see <a href="http://paoc.mit.edu/cmi/">MIT's Climate |
13 |
Modeling Initiative (CMI)</a> which introduces the MITgcm model, its applications, |
14 |
and the development team.</font> |
15 |
|
16 |
<p><font size=+1>MITgcm is freely available to all; we encourage you to |
17 |
download it, use it, and give us <a href="mailto:MITgcm-support@mitgcm.org">feedback</a> |
18 |
to help us improve it.</font> |
