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

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

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