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>

60 MITgcm is now able to write and (to a lesser extent) read NetCDF files.
61 The framework (the "MNC" package) has been tested by numerous developers
62 on literally dozens of machines and, for the past month, has been a
63 working part of our standard verification suite.
64
65 We encourage MITgcm users (especially new users) to try out the MNC
66 package since tqhe model output is now much easier to read and
67 understand. For further NetCDF information please see:

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

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