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

122            A new movie by Dimitris Menemenlis and Chris Henze shows ice dynamics
123            over the North Pole. The viscous-plastic behavior of ice sheets subject
124            to wind forcing and ocean currents can be clearly seen in the
125            translucent ice-sheet. The movie can be downloaded from <a
126            href="movies/ice_03.mpg"> here</a> (this one is 91MB!).  A set of web
127            pages with summary information regarding MITgcm simulations being

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