A new movie by Dimitris Menemenlis and Chris Henze shows ice dynamics |
| 68 |
|
over the North Pole. The viscous-plastic behavior of ice sheets subject |
| 69 |
|
to wind forcing and ocean currents can be clearly seen in the |
| 70 |
|
translucent ice-sheet. The movie can be downloaded from <a |
| 71 |
|
href="movies/ice_03.mpg"> here</a> (this one is 91MB!). A set of web |
| 72 |
|
pages with summary information regarding MITgcm simulations being |
| 73 |
|
carried out in the ECCO high resolution global ocean state estimation |
| 74 |
|
initiative can be found <a href="http://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/cube_sphere"> |

A spectacular movie by Chris Henze of NASA AMES beautifully captures an |
| 90 |
|
eddy permitting expanded cube sphere MITgcm simulation being carried out, |
| 91 |
|
as part of the <a href=http://www.ecco-group.org>ECCO</a> project, by |
| 92 |
|
Dimitris Menemenlis and others at JPL with help from core MITgcm team members |
| 93 |
|
and staff from NASA AMES. The animation |
| 94 |
|
shows the speed of ocean currents at 15m depth from the simulation, it can be |
| 95 |
|
downloaded <a href=news/cube_6.mpg>here</a> (its 47MB |
| 96 |
|
but worth waiting for!). A second animation with different perspectives and |
| 97 |
|
rotation can be downloaded <a href=news/cube_7.mpg>here</a>. |
| 98 |
|
As described <a href=news/agu_2004/menemenlis_et_al.pdf>here</a> Dimitris Menemenlis |
| 99 |
|
will be presenting aspects of this calculation at AGU in Portland. |
