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>

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

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

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