104              <p> The MIT/AER ECCO-GODAE project issued a new solution of its recent version 3 system. The new solution uses atmospheric state fields as control variables in conjunction with an adjoint of the Large and Yeager surface boundary layer scheme, as well as a dynamic/thermodynamical sea-ice model. The solution has been update through the end of 2007 (calculations through end of 2008 are under way). The new solution is available via ECCO's <a href="http://www.ecco-group.org/las/v6/dataset?catitem=91"  target="_blank">LAS server at MIT</a>.</p>

112              <p> As part of his Ph.D. thesis, <a href="http://www-pord.ucsd.edu/~mmazloff/" target="_blank">Matt Mazloff</a> has produced an eddy-permitting state estimate at 1/6 degree horizontal resolution of the Southern Ocean, covering the Argo-rich period 2005/06. The adjoint-based solution is dynamically consistent and enables closed budget calculations of various quantities. Matt's thesis was featured in the <a href="http://www.sdsc.edu/us/newsletter/common/newsletter.php?%20issue=2006-02&corner=fstory">SDSC Thread Newsletter</a>, and more recently in WHOI's Oceanus magazine (<a href="http://www.whoi.edu/oceanus/viewArticle.do?id=49240&archives=true" target="_blank">Corralling the Wild and Wooly Southern Ocean</a>).</p>

126                    In collaboration with web designer Colleen  Boisvert
127                    ECCO has launched a new overall project web  site.
128                    Main purpose of this site is to provide an  integrated view
129                    of ECCO and it's follow-on projects
130                    (ECCO-GODAE, ECCO2, GECCO, ...).
131                    It is hoped that readers will get a clear  understanding
132                    of
133                    ECCO's various activities, and will find
134                    among ECCO's various ocean state estimation  products
135                    those which best suit their needs.
136                    We welcome any <a href="mailto:heimbach@mit.edu">feedback</a> you may wish to provide.              </p>

140                  <p>                Scientists at MIT have developed a new  marine ecosystem model that allows its populations of
141                    phytoplankton to  realistically evolve, reflecting the diversity in populations in the natural  world. This
142                    should lead to a better understanding of the coupling between ocean  and atmospheric chemistry.
143                    The model makes use of ECCO's ocean state estimate  to capture the physical environment in
144                    which the ecosystem evolves. The study  &quot;Emergent Biogeography of Microbial Communities in a
145                    Model Ocean&quot;  &nbsp;by  Michael J. Follows, Stephanie Dutkiewicz, Scott Grant, and Sallie W. Chisholm  was published in today's issue of <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/315/5820/1843" target="_blank">Science magazine</a>.
