65          Breaking News:  The MITgcm is now able to generate Sea-Ice Donuts.
66          In a push to move forward MITgcm on the path of fundamental science and climate
67          understanding, David Ferreira and Jean-Michel Campin
68          simulated a Sea-ice Donut using a coupled AquaPlanet configuration (see
69          movie <A href=movies/Sea_Ice_Donut_x1.mpg>here</A>).
70          This experiment was initialized with  the T and S fields from
71          a previous Aquaplanet run which has polar sea-ice caps. These
72          caps are associated with salt-compensated temperature inversions in the upper
73          ocean. The new run is initialized without sea-ice and within a month, large
74          sea-ice caps grow over the poles, rejecting salt. This triggers convection which
75          in turns brings relatively warm water to the surface and melts the ice close
76          to the poles. Here we have a <A href=movies/Sea_Ice_Donut_x1.mpg>donut</A>.
77          Look out for that chapter on aqua-planets in the next IPCC report!

82           News is back by popular request. New advection schemes are currently
83           being tested. Some preliminary results from the new schemes can be seen
84           <A href=news/advection_testing_jan07/advection_testing.html>
85           here.
86           </A>
87           The plots show a tracer being transported and stretched in the
88           MITgcm advect_xz verification test. Both new schemes (OS7MP
89           and Prather second-order scheme with limiting) have very low implied
90           diffusivity.
91           We are currently evaluating the
92           schemes to assess their implied diffusivity, with a bottle of
93           Jean-Michel's favorite Belgian
94           beer going to the the least diffusive scheme - watch this space!

99           A short article entitled
100           "NASA Supercomputer Improves Prospects for Ocean Climate Research"
101           in the current EOS (volume 86, number 9, March 1 2005)
102           gives a succinct overview of some of the advanced high-resolution
103           state-estimation work being undertaken with MITgcm by members
104           of the ECCO consortium. The article describes
105           ground-breaking computational
106           technologies that have enabled this work and outlines the future goals of
107           this next generation planetary scale assimilation initiative. A pdf containing
108           the article can be found
