MIT General Circulation Model
ID: mit-general-circulation-model
The MIT General Circulation Model (MITgcm) is a numerical model used to simulate the Earth's climate and ocean circulation. Developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), it is designed to study various aspects of geophysical fluid dynamics, including atmospheric and oceanic processes. The model's primary focus is on understanding how physical processes in the ocean and atmosphere influence climate patterns, weather events, and ocean currents.
