<font size=+1>To run MITgcm you need to</font> | 
| 15 | 
<ul> | 
| 16 | 
<li> | 
| 17 | 
<font size=+1>have a suitable computer and compiler,</font></li> |

<li> | 
| 20 | 
<font size=+1><a href="../online_documents/manual/obtaining.html">download</a> |

the code,</font></li> | 
| 22 | 
 | 
| 23 | 
<li> | 
| 24 | 
<font size=+1>try to | 
| 25 | 
<a href="../online_documents/manual/compiling.html">compile</a> | 
| 26 | 
and | 
| 27 | 
<a href="../online_documents/manual/running.html">run</a> an example | 
| 28 | 
by following the steps on the left.</font></li> |

<br><font size=+1>These links will take you to appropriate parts of the |

<a href="../online_documents/index.html" target="mainFrame">documentation</a>.</font></ul> | 
| 32 | 
<font size=+1>To help you configure your own experimental set-up, we provide | 
| 33 | 
many different example configurations which can be adapted to your particular | 
| 34 | 
scenario. The examples include, among others:</font> | 
| 35 | 
<ul> | 
| 36 | 
<li> | 
| 37 | 
<font size=+1>an <a href="../online_documents/manual/eg_baroclin.html">idealized | 
| 38 | 
sector ocean</a> in spherical coordinates</font></li> |

<font size=+1><a href="../online_documents/manual/global4x4.html">4°x4° |

<font size=+1>a high resolution simulation of internal waves incident on | 
| 46 |

</ul> |

<font size=+1>There are also some |

configurations as well as more |
