New global-ocean, data-constrained DIC budget uses the ECCO-Darwin ocean biogeochemistry state estimate.

Researchers at the University of Hawai’i, Manoa, and the Coral Reef Research Foundation, Palau use ECCO state estimates in their study of how western tropical Pacific temperature conditions impact coral bleaching.

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.

Researchers in the US and the UK have been analyzing ocean heat transport in a recent ECCO dataset to investigate how it varies globally

Researchers from China and Australia have been using the ECCOv4 dataset, an MITgcm product, to investigate ENSO-Related Global Ocean Heat Content Variations.

This month we spotlight research from a team in New Zealand who have been using the MITgcm-based ECCOv4 ocean reanalysis product to examine how air–sea heat flux and ocean heat transport convergence due to ocean dynamics contribute to variability of upper ocean temperatures around New Zealand.

In a new study, researchers from Scripps have been using MITgcm to evaluate the role form stress across bottom topography plays in balancing the input of stress by wind at the surface.

Dan Goldberg has been working with longtime MITgcmer Patrick Heimbach, looking at new ways to assimilate observations into glaciological flow models capable of representing fast streaming ice flow.

This month we focus on several recent papers that have used MITgcm and its adjoint to perform state estimates and explore its ocean forecasting capabilities in the Gulf of Mexico.

For anyone who has ever wrestled with vizualising output from MITgcm, Earth from Space, the stunning new documentary from PBS’s NOVA series demands serious respect.
