MITgcm Goes to EGU

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.

Comprehensive evaluation underscores the strengths and areas for improvement in current MITgcm-based Southern Ocean reanalyses.

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.

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 MIT’s Darwin Project exploring how changes in spatial resolution impact emergent biogeochemistry and phytoplankton community structure in their work using MITgcm and the biogeochemical models they have built to surround it.

This month we spotlight recently published work by Fanny Monteiro, Stephanie Dutkiewicz, and others, who have been using MITgcm to explore the biogeography of a class of phytoplankton with an outsized role to play in the global carbon cycle.

This month we spotlight the ECCO meeting held May 16-18, 2016 at MIT.

In a novel approach, MITgcmers Ian Fenty and Patrick Heimbach use optimal state and parameter estimation to improve the sea-ice simulations.
