Hi Sankar,

I've subscribed you to the MITgcm-support list (the appropriate place
for these questions).  The answers are:

 (1) No, MITgcm does not support triangular elements.  In 
     the horizontal directions it works with curvilinear
     orthogonal quadrilateral elements.  This supports 
     quite a bit of grid flexibility -- one can readily 
     approximate coastal domains.

 (2) MITgcm has been developed primarily on Linux and Unix 
     machines so it runs most easily on them.  It is also 
     know to work well on Mac OS X and reasonably well on 
     Windows machines within the Cygwin environment:

Subject: Details about MITgcm
 
Hello,
 
We are looking for a good finite volume model for coastal modeling.
We read with interest papers by Edwards et al's MITgcm application
to Long Island Sound. We would very much appreciate if you could
clarify the following details about MITgcm. 
 
(1) Can MITgcm use triangular elements?
 
(2) Can MITgcm be run on a pc in windows/linux environment?. Has
anybody tried running MITgcm on a pc? 
 
Thanks, 
Sankar
