190                  <p> In a collaboration with the San Diego Computer  Center (SDSC)
191                    ECCO embarks on producing a Southern Ocean  state estimate based
192                    on the adjoint method. After successfully  tackling technical difficulties in
193                    setting up an adjoint model at 1/6 degree  horizontal resolution which can
194                    run efficiently on 600 pocessors of SDSC's IBM  Power-4 &quot;DataStar&quot;                production has begun by fitting the MIT general  circulation model (MITgcm)
195                    to a variety of observation during the year  2004.
196                    The work led by MIT's Matthew Mazloff was  featured in the
197                    April 2006 issue of the SDSC Nuggets magazine
