61          A new movie by Dimitris Menemenlis and Chris Henze shows ice dynamics
62          over the North Pole. The viscous-plastic behavior of ice sheets
63          subject wind forcing and ocean currents can be clearly
64          seen in the translucent ice-sheet. The movie can be downloaded
65          from <a href=movies/ice_03.mpg> here</a> (this one is 91MB!).
66          A set of web pages with summary information regarding MITgcm simulations
67          being carried out in the ECCO high resolution global ocean state
68          estimation initiative can be found <a href=http://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/cube_sphere>

84              A spectacular movie by Chris Henze of NASA AMES beautifully captures an
85              eddy permitting expanded cube sphere MITgcm simulation being carried out,
86              as part of the <a href=http://www.ecco-group.org>ECCO</a> project, by
87              Dimitris Menemenlis and others at JPL with help from core MITgcm team members
88              and staff from NASA AMES. The animation
89              shows the speed of ocean currents at 15m depth from the simulation, it can be
90              downloaded <a href=news/cube_6.mpg>here</a> (its 47MB
91              but worth waiting for!). A second animation with different perspectives and
92              rotation can be downloaded <a href=news/cube_7.mpg>here</a>.
93              As described <a href=news/agu_2004/menemenlis_et_al.pdf>here</a> Dimitris Menemenlis
94              will be presenting aspects of this calculation at AGU in Portland.
95              A list of some other AGU 2004 presentation abstracts related to MITgcm can be
96              found <a href=news/agu_2004>here</a>.
