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
26        studying the ocean and atmosphere. It is capable of simulating these        <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
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
32          flow in both the atmosphere and ocean.</p>

60            MITgcm is now able to write and (to a lesser extent) read NetCDF files.
61            The framework (the "MNC" package) has been tested by numerous developers
62            on literally dozens of machines and, for the past month, has been a
63            working part of our standard verification suite.
64            
65            We encourage MITgcm users (especially new users) to try out the MNC
66            package since tqhe model output is now much easier to read and
67            understand.  For further NetCDF information please see:

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

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