MITgcm (MIT General Circulation Model)
MITgcm (MIT General Circulation Model) is a sophisticated computer program used by scientists to simulate and study Earth's climate, oceans, and atmosphere. It divides the planet into a grid to model how air and water move, interact, and exchange heat and nutrients. By running these simulations, researchers can predict weather patterns, study climate change, and understand ocean circulation. MITgcm is flexible and used globally for scientific research, helping us better understand complex environmental systems and their responses to various influences.
