25      <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

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        &amp; 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

58           A short article entitled
59           "NASA Supercomputer Improves Prospects for Ocean Climate Research"
60           in the current EOS (volume 86, number 9, March 1 2005)
61           gives a succinct overview of some of the advanced high-resolution
62           state-estimation work being undertaken with MITgcm by members
63           of the ECCO consortium. The article describes
64           ground-breaking computational
65           technologies that have enabled this work and outlines the future goals of
66           this next generation planetary scale assimilation initiative. A pdf containing
67           the article can be found

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

105            A new movie by Dimitris Menemenlis and Chris Henze shows ice dynamics
106            over the North Pole. The viscous-plastic behavior of ice sheets subject
107            to wind forcing and ocean currents can be clearly seen in the
108            translucent ice-sheet. The movie can be downloaded from <a

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