The configuration was constructed as part of the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean Phase II, or ECCO2 project. It was run by project partners Gunnar Spreen and Dimitris Menemenlis at NASA #39;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory on NASA #39;s supercomputer "Pleiades" at the Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. Tim Sandstrom at NASA #39;s Advanced Supercomputing Division performed the visualization of the simulations.
