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