A Cold Bloom: Modeling Productivity in West Greenland

MITgcm helps uncover link between glacier melt and coastal productivity in Greenland.

By incorporating satellite observations of summer sea ice thickness and concentration into MITgcm., a team of researchers from China and Germany is helping improve Arctic summer sea ice thickness estimation.

Mattia Poinelli uses MITgcm to explore what role rifts and icebergs play in shaping the dynamics of Antarctic ice shelves.

This month we spotlight research using a regional implementation of MITgcm to explore Antarctic subglacial runoff.

A team of researchers from China and the US has created a new atmospheric ensemble forcing for MITgcm to improve the accuracy and the uncertainty estimation of Antarctic sea ice simulation.

A team, bringing together researchers from China, Europe, and the US, use MITgcm to develop a new data assimilation system for the Southern Ocean with the aim of improving sea-ice thickness estimates in the region.

Geologists from WHOI and UMass have been using MITgcm to probe whether melting arctic sea-ice could have slowed the AMOC enough to precipitate the Younger Dryas.

Researchers use MITgcm to understand how phytoplankton blooms and inorganic carbon respond to sea-ice variability in the West Antarctic Peninsula.

MITgcm underpins a new Chinese Arctic sea-ice prediction system.

This month we turn our attention to scientists working at NASA JPL who have been using MITgcm to examine what sets the thickness of so-called “Winter Water” in a region of the Antarctic off shore from the Pine Island Glacier.
