106            eddy permitting expanded cube sphere MITgcm simulation being carried out,
107            as part of the <a href="http://www.ecco-group.org">ECCO</a> project, by
108            Dimitris Menemenlis and others at JPL with help from core MITgcm team members
109            and staff from NASA AMES. The animation
110            shows the speed of ocean currents at 15m depth from the simulation, it can be
111            downloaded <a href=news/cube_6.mpg>here</a> (its 47MB
112            but worth waiting for!). A second animation with different perspectives and
