MITgcm - ECCO'S OCEAN GENERAL CIRCULATION MODEL

The ECCO code is based on the MIT general circulation model (MITgcm). It is freely available for download through the MITgcm CVS repository. The repository enables web-based access to the model, and distributed code development. Code documentation is available through the online manual. ECCO-specific configuration is documented in chapter 8 of the manual. An MITgcm support and discussion group 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 mitgcm-support@mitgcm.org.
