Speeding up Spin Up
This month we spotlight research using MITgcm in a study seeking to accelerate ocean biogeochemical model optimization.
Mangroves on the Move?
This month we spotlight research using MITgcm to explore how factors beyond climate, such as dispersal limitations, impact the spread of mangroves.
MITgcm Goes to Ocean Sciences 2022
This month, a taste from the smorgasbord of papers using MITgcm served up at this year’s Ocean Sciences Meeting.
Fluctuating Flows
Research using MITgcm explores the impact of including nonseasonal river discharge in a global ocean model.
Under Sea Riches
A contingent of European researchers use MITgcm to predict how sediments kicked up by seafloor mining disperse.
A Big Enough Flood
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.
Blooming Antarctica
Researchers use MITgcm to understand how phytoplankton blooms and inorganic carbon respond to sea-ice variability in the West Antarctic Peninsula.
Exploring Zooplankton Dynamics in the Gulf of Mexico
FSU graduate student Taylor Shropshire has been using MITgcm to explore zooplankton dynamics in the Gulf of Mexico.
Arctic Shipping Forecast
MITgcm underpins a new Chinese Arctic sea-ice prediction system.
The Problem with Polynyas
A new study from British Antarctic Survey uses MITgcm to explore what effect excessive Weddell Sea convection may have on nearby continental ice shelves.
