<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 |

<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 |

processes. It has a non-hydrostatic capability (Marshall et al., JGR 1997a |
enables it to simulate fluid phenomena over a wide range of |

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 |

A new movie by Dimitris Menemenlis and Chris Henze shows ice dynamics |
62 |
|
over the North Pole. The viscous-plastic behavior of ice sheets |
63 |
|
subject wind forcing and ocean currents can be clearly |
64 |
|
seen in the translucent ice-sheet. The movie can be downloaded |
65 |
|
from <a href=movies/ice_03.mpg> here</a> (this one is 91MB!). |

A spectacular movie by Chris Henze of NASA AMES beautifully captures an |
85 |
|
eddy permitting expanded cube sphere MITgcm simulation being carried out, |
86 |
|
as part of the <a href=http://www.ecco-group.org>ECCO</a> project, by |
87 |
|
Dimitris Menemenlis and others at JPL with help from core MITgcm team members |
88 |
|
and staff from NASA AMES. The animation |
89 |
|
shows the speed of ocean currents at 15m depth from the simulation, it can be |
90 |
|
downloaded <a href=news/cube_6.mpg>here</a> (its 47MB |
91 |
|
but worth waiting for!). A second animation with different perspectives and |
92 |
|
rotation can be downloaded <a href=news/cube_7.mpg>here</a>. |
93 |
|
As described <a href=news/agu_2004/menemenlis_et_al.pdf>here</a> Dimitris Menemenlis |
94 |
|
will be presenting aspects of this calculation at AGU in Portland. |
