<p>The MITgcm (MIT General Circulation Model) is a numerical model for |
<p>The <b>MITgcm</b> (<b>MIT</b> <b>G</b>eneral <b>C</b>irculation |
26 |
studying the ocean and atmosphere. It is capable of simulating these |
<b>M</b>odel) is a numerical model designed for study of the |
27 |
fluids at a wide range of scales and can resolve many different |
atmosphere, ocean, and climate. Its non-hydrostatic formulation |
28 |
processes. It has a non-hydrostatic capability (Marshall et al., JGR 1997a |
enables it to simulate fluid phenomena over a wide range of |
29 |
& b) and uses the finite volume method to accurately represent the |
scales; its adjoint capability enables it to be applied to |
30 |
bottom boundary position (Adcroft et al., MWR 1998).<br /><br /></p> |
parameter and state estimation problems. By employing fluid |
31 |
|
isomorphisms, one hydrodynamical kernel can be used to simulate |
32 |
|
flow in both the atmosphere and ocean.</p> |

A spectacular movie by Chris Henze of NASA AMES beautifully captures an |
64 |
|
eddy permitting expanded cube sphere MITgcm simulation being carried out, |
65 |
|
as part of the <a href=http://www.ecco-group.org>ECCO</a> project, by |
66 |
|
Dimitris Menemenlis and others at JPL with help from core MITgcm team members |
67 |
|
and staff from NASA AMES. The animation |
68 |
|
shows the speed of ocean currents at 15m depth from the simulation, it can be |
69 |
|
downloaded <a href=news/cube_6.mpg>here</a> (its 47MB |
70 |
|
but worth waiting for!). A second animation with different perspectives and |
71 |
|
rotation can be downloaded <a href=news/cube_7.mpg>here</a>. |
72 |
|
As described <a href=news/agu_2004/menemenlis_et_al.pdf>here</a> Dimitris Menemenlis |
73 |
|
will be presenting aspects of this calculation at AGU in Portland. |
74 |
