-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). 
-<br>
-<br>
-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.
