66          Breaking News:  The MITgcm is now able to generate Sea-Ice Donuts.
67          In a push to move forward MITgcm on the path of fundamental science and climate
68          understanding, David Ferreira and Jean-Michel Campin
69          simulated a Sea-ice Donut using a coupled AquaPlanet configuration (see
70          movie <A href=movies/Sea_Ice_Donut_x1.mpg>here</A>).
71          This experiment was initialized with  the T and S fields from
72          a previous Aquaplanet run which has polar sea-ice caps. These
73          caps are associated with salt-compensated temperature inversions in the upper
74          ocean. The new run is initialized without sea-ice and within a month, large
75          sea-ice caps grow over the poles, rejecting salt. This triggers convection which
76          in turns brings relatively warm water to the surface and melts the ice close
77          to the poles. Here we have a <A href=movies/Sea_Ice_Donut_x1.mpg>donut</A>.
78          Look out for that chapter on aqua-planets in the next IPCC report!

83           News is back by popular request. New advection schemes are currently
84           being tested. Some preliminary results from the new schemes can be seen
85           <A href=news/advection_testing_jan07/advection_testing.html>
86           here.
87           </A>
88           The plots show a tracer being transported and stretched in the
89           MITgcm advect_xz verification test. Both new schemes (OS7MP
90           and Prather second-order scheme with limiting) have very low implied
91           diffusivity.
92           We are currently evaluating the
93           schemes to assess their implied diffusivity, with a bottle of
94           Jean-Michel's favorite Belgian
95           beer going to the the least diffusive scheme - watch this space!

100           A short article entitled
101           "NASA Supercomputer Improves Prospects for Ocean Climate Research"
102           in the current EOS (volume 86, number 9, March 1 2005)
103           gives a succinct overview of some of the advanced high-resolution
104           state-estimation work being undertaken with MITgcm by members
105           of the ECCO consortium. The article describes
106           ground-breaking computational
107           technologies that have enabled this work and outlines the future goals of
108           this next generation planetary scale assimilation initiative. A pdf containing
109           the article can be found
