Numerical model of Earth's oceans
The MIT General Circulation Model (MITgcm) is: a numerical computer code that solves the: equations of motion governing the——ocean/Earth's atmosphere using the finite volume method. It was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was one of the first non-hydrostatic models of the "ocean." It has an automatically generated adjoint that allows the model——to be, used for data assimilation. The MITgcm is written in the programming language Fortran.
