    <p>The <b>MITgcm</b> (<b>MIT</b> <b>G</b>eneral <b>C</b>irculation
      <b>M</b>odel) is a numerical model designed for study of the
      atmosphere, ocean, and climate. Its non-hydrostatic formulation
      enables it to simulate fluid phenomena over a wide range of
      scales; its adjoint capability enables it to be applied to
      parameter and state estimation problems. By employing fluid
      isomorphisms, one hydrodynamical kernel can be used to simulate
      flow in both the atmosphere and ocean.</p>

    <p>You are welcome to <a href="http://mitgcm.org/source_code.html">
      download</a> and use MITgcm.</p>

    <p>Papers charting the development of MITgcm <a

        MITgcm is now able to write and (to a lesser extent) read NetCDF files.
        The framework (the "MNC" package) has been tested by numerous developers
        on literally dozens of machines and, for the past month, has been a
        working part of our standard verification suite.  We encourage MITgcm
        users (especially new users) to try out the MNC package since the model
        output is now much easier to read and understand.  For further NetCDF
