MITgcm Sealion Release Home Page

-The M.I.T. General Circulation Model (MITgcm) Release 1 contains code for -simulating a wide variety of ocean and atmosphere problems. The model is -compatible with platforms ranging from desktop and commodity -cluster x86 systems to high-end multi-processor supercomputers. Minimum requirements -are a Fortran compiler (the free g77 compiler is sufficient) and a UNIX like -operating system (such as Linux, Solaris, IRIX). -
-
-A broad span of example problem -configurations are included in the release. These examples range from planetary scale -circulation simulations of the ocean and atmosphere to high-resolution, small-scale -process studies encompassing non-hydrostatic dynamics. In addition to conventional -prognostic operation, differentiated forms (both tangent-linear and adjoint) -of the MITgcm code can be generated automatically using either the TAMC or TAF -automatic differentiation tools. These derivative forms can be used for dynamical -sensitivity studies and can also be used, together with appropriate optimisation and -control infrastructure, for mathematically rigorous state-estimation and -data-assimilation. A seamless interface to the ECCO group optimisation -environment is available. -
