Modeling Cloudy Exoplanets

Researchers use MITgcm to simulate 3D cloud dynamics on WASP-80b, revealing how atmospheric feedback shapes the planet’s spectra.

Researchers use MITgcm to help improve seasonal US Gulf and East Coast sea level forecasts.

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

Research using MITgcm reveals surprising shifts in Atlantic Ocean circulation under sudden climate forcing.

High-resolution modeling reveals how monsoons, eddies, and equatorial forces shape the movement of water, heat, and freshwater—critical for climate and coastal forecasting.

Researchers from Fudan University, Shanghai, China have been using MITgcm to explore leakage in cyclonic and anticyclonic mesoscale eddies.

By integrating MITgcm with satellite altimetry data, German researchers are able to validate Chukchi Sea observations and refine their understanding of the region’s ocean circulation patterns.

This month, a taste from the blizzard of papers using MITgcm to be presented at the European Geophysical Union General Assembly this year.

This month we highlight research using ECCO in a regional study of sea-level height in the eastern North Atlantic.

​Happy 2025: Another new year, yet another new research roundup! Best wishes as always to MITgcmers past, MITgcmers present and MITgcmers yet to come…
