MITgcm (Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model)

MITgcm, or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology General Circulation Model, is a sophisticated computer program used by scientists to simulate and understand the movement of fluids in the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. It helps researchers study climate patterns, ocean currents, and weather systems by breaking down these complex systems into manageable mathematical equations. The model provides insights into how natural processes affect climate change, weather events, and ocean circulation, enabling better predictions and informed decision-making for environmental management.
