The MITgcm (MIT General Circulation
- Model) is a numerical model for
- studying the ocean and atmosphere. It is capable of simulating these
- fluids at a wide range of scales and can resolve many different
- processes. It has a non-hydrostatic capability (Marshall et al., JGR 1997a
- & b) and uses the finite volume method to accurately represent the
- bottom boundary position (Adcroft et al., MWR 1998).

++ MITgcm is now able to write and (to a lesser extent) read NetCDF files. + The framework (the "MNC" package) has been tested by numerous developers + on literally dozens of machines and, for the past month, has been a + working part of our standard verification suite. We encourage MITgcm + users (especially new users) to try out the MNC package since the model + output is now much easier to read and understand. For further NetCDF + information please see: + ++ +May 20, 2004 at 05:01 EDT :

++ 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. ++ +March 26, 2004 at 01:38 EST :

+ ++ 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.---> +December 9th 2003 :
