Title

Climatique (Climate Cycle)
Background

Climates encompasses the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological elements in a given region over long periods of time. Climate can be contrasted to weather, which is the present condition of these same elements and their variations over periods up to two weeks.
The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, and altitude, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents. Climates can be classified according to the average and the typical ranges of different variables, most commonly temperature and precipitation. The most commonly used classification scheme was originally developed by Wladimir Köppen. The Thornthwaite system, in use since 1948, incorporates evapotranspiration in addition to temperature and precipitation information and is used in studying animal species diversity and potential impacts of climate changes. The Bergeron and Spatial Synoptic Classification systems focus on the origin of air masses that define the climate of a region.

Problem Identification

Every day, earth becomes more and more polluted. Air pollution fills our lungs with deadly substances. Water pollution is rapidly eradicating what little freshwater we have left. Land pollution is causing once-fertile lands to become little more than deserts. While many solutions have been offered, NONE are successful. But there is hope! A REAL solution exists—overlooked by environmentalists, government agencies and scientists!

Now days whether of the world is polluted. Pale climatology is the study of past climate over a great period of the Earth's history. It uses evidence from ice sheets, tree rings, sediments, coral, and rocks to determine the past state of the climate. It demonstrates periods of stability and periods of change and can indicate whether changes follow patterns such as regular cycles.

To create the Climatique I would like to show public that the climate is changing since 1850-2012 and they can see how everything will change when the climate change.

Aim & Objectives

o To create awareness about the important of life on the earth.
o To let public know about how the earth is changing when the climate will change.
o To ignite public support to protect our earth.

Motivation

As a human I’m seeing that the climate is changing and from the Antarctic which is cold and icy going through the hot because of the Ozone Layer and the beauty of that is destroying because of a bad whether.
It will be very sad to let it being destroyed by us and action must be taken before it is too late.
“Strange is our situation here upon earth.
- Albert Einstein Theoretical physicist 1879-1955

Ideation or concept (updates)

Climate is a very important matter in human’s life and with create that showing the climate is changing since 1850-2012 and in the future will change more, Everyone might have the change to know more about the climate and its presents how the earth is changing when the climate will change.
Climatique has a muter, speakers, phidgets and later on an USB-HID serial interface device from Leobodnar, 4 linear sliders (and 4 light sensors which I ended up not using) and one projector. It is created and presented on a Mac OSX, using software Quartz Composer for the graphics and the interaction, and Ableton Live for the sound.
Climatique will have 4 hot spots / interactive spots / sliders which the visitors use. Each of these hold one dataset related to climate change. So if you touch / move the slider, the work activates in front of you and you can choose a certain year from the time range of that dataset. For example, the world annual mean temperature has been measured from 1850-2009 at least at the Met Office dataset I am using. Moving that slider right or left will then give you different years.

Review, Analysis and Precedent Studies

Climate is changing since 1850-2012 on the floor and the public will experience and choose a year from 1980-2012 to see what happened in the past ad what is happening when the climate change.
