<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> |

A new movie by Dimitris Menemenlis and Chris Henze shows ice dynamics |
| 68 |
over the North Pole. The viscous-plastic behavior of ice sheets subject |
| 69 |
to wind forcing and ocean currents can be clearly seen in the |
| 70 |
translucent ice-sheet. The movie can be downloaded from <a |
| 71 |
href="movies/ice_03.mpg"> here</a> (this one is 91MB!). A set of web |
| 72 |
pages with summary information regarding MITgcm simulations being |

A spectacular movie by Chris Henze of NASA AMES beautifully captures an |
| 90 |
eddy permitting expanded cube sphere MITgcm simulation being carried out, |
| 91 |
as part of the <a href=http://www.ecco-group.org>ECCO</a> project, by |
| 92 |
Dimitris Menemenlis and others at JPL with help from core MITgcm team members |
| 93 |
and staff from NASA AMES. The animation |
| 94 |
shows the speed of ocean currents at 15m depth from the simulation, it can be |
| 95 |
downloaded <a href=news/cube_6.mpg>here</a> (its 47MB |
| 96 |
but worth waiting for!). A second animation with different perspectives and |
| 97 |
rotation can be downloaded <a href=news/cube_7.mpg>here</a>. |
| 98 |
As described <a href=news/agu_2004/menemenlis_et_al.pdf>here</a> Dimitris Menemenlis |
| 99 |
will be presenting aspects of this calculation at AGU in Portland. |
| 100 |
