<meta name="description" content="Welcome to the Estimation of the |
6 |
Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) project homepage. ECCO is a consortium |
7 |
involving the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Jet Propulsion |
8 |
Laboratory (JPL/NASA), the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO/SDSC) and the Institut |
9 |
fuer Meereskunde at the University of Hamburg (IfM). It is funded by the National |
10 |
Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP). The long term goal of ECCO is to provide |
11 |
a high resolution coupled ocean/sea-ice/biochemical (and ultimately, consistent |
12 |
atmospheric) state estimate to a wide community."> |

93 |
<p>The ECCO code is based on the <A href="http://mitgcm.org/" target="_blank">MIT general circulation model (MITgcm)</A>. It is freely available for download through the <A href="http://mitgcm.org/public/source_code.html" target="_blank">MITgcm CVS repository</A>. The repository enables web-based access to the model, and distributed code development. Code documentation is available through the <A href="http://mitgcm.org/public/r2_manual/latest/" target="_blank">online manual</A>. ECCO-specific configuration is documented in chapter 8 of the manual. An <A href="http://mitgcm.org/mailman/listinfo/mitgcm-support" target="_blank">MITgcm support and discussion group</A> has been set up where you can post your questions or bug reports and browse previous Q's & A's. You can email the group at <A href="mailto:support@mitgcm.org">mitgcm-support@mitgcm.org</A>. <BR /> |

108 |
<p>The ECCO version 4 setup is archived, maintained, and documented at <A href="http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/" target="_blank">this location </A>. It is subjected to automated daily testing (with results posted to <A href="http://mitgcm.org/public/testing.html" target="_blank">this location</A>) on our local 'glacier' cluster. The ECCO v4 setup is freely available for download via the <A href="http://mitgcm.org/source_code.html" target="_blank">MITgcm CVS repository</A> by following a few simple directions provided in the <A href="http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/*checkout*/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/eccov4.pdf" target="_blank">ECCO version 4 user guide</A>. The various input and forcing fields needed to re-run the ECCO v4-r2 state estimate (the baseline solution) are also freely availble (see <A href="http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/*checkout*/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/eccov4.pdf" target="_blank">ECCO version 4 user guide</A>). A support and discussion group has been set up where you can post your questions or bug reports and browse previous Q's & A's (<a href="http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/ecco-support">ecco-support@mit.edu</a>). |
