In a collaboration with the San Diego Computer Center (SDSC)
ECCO embarks on producing a Southern Ocean state estimate based
on the adjoint method. After successfully tackling technical difficulties in
setting up an adjoint model at 1/6 degree horizontal resolution which can
run efficiently on 600 pocessors of SDSC's IBM Power-4 "DataStar" production has begun by fitting the MIT general circulation model (MITgcm)
to a variety of observation during the year 2004.
The work led by MIT's Matthew Mazloff was featured in the
April 2006 issue of the SDSC Nuggets magazine
("Predicting the State of the Ocean") and Issue 4, Febbruary 2006 of SDSC Thread ("Estimating the State of the Southern Ocean") by Matthew Mazloff.
In a news story for the Computerworld magazine talks about
current limitations in computing horsepower for climate simulations. (Click here for the full story)
