MITgcm

MITgcm, or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology General Circulation Model, is a computer program that simulates ocean and atmosphere dynamics. It helps scientists understand climate systems, ocean currents, and weather patterns by creating detailed models of how water and air move around the Earth. Researchers use MITgcm to predict changes in climate, assess environmental impacts, and study phenomena like El Niño. Its flexibility allows for various scientific applications, aiding in both fundamental research and practical solutions for global challenges related to climate change and natural resource management.
