25 <p>The <b>MITgcm</b> (<b>MIT</b> <b>G</b>eneral <b>C</b>irculation
26 <b>M</b>odel) is a numerical model designed for study of the
27 atmosphere, ocean, and climate. Its non-hydrostatic formulation
28 enables it to simulate fluid phenomena over a wide range of
29 scales; its adjoint capability enables it to be applied to
30 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>

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>
69 here</a>.

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>.

105 of the latest development code. The page shows summary pass/fail
106 ratios for the MITgcm regression tests on various platforms. Details
107 on the platforms being tested and detailed information on the status
108 of individual regression tests can be viewed from links on the test
109 page. <br /><br />
