+ A new movie by Dimitris Menemenlis and Chris Henze shows ice dynamics + over the North Pole. The viscous-plastic behavior of ice sheets + subject to wind forcing and ocean currents can be clearly + seen in the translucent ice-sheet. The movie can be downloaded + from here (this one is 91MB!). + A set of web pages with summary information regarding MITgcm simulations + being carried out in the ECCO high resolution global ocean state + estimation initiative can be found + here. + ++ +

+ 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 ECCO 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 here (its 47MB + but worth waiting for!). A second animation with different perspectives and + rotation can be downloaded here. + As described here 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 here. ++
