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