Mixedx240223amirahadaramishacrosssunlit < CERTIFIED >

Amirah keeps maps she never shows anyone. Not of streets or rooms, but of thresholds: the soft edge where morning becomes responsibility; the narrow seam between saying something and letting it drift. She notices the way sun falls through slatted blinds and names the shadow patterns on impulse. Her presence is a compass that points inward; people feel located around her. On x240223 she leaves a folded scrap of paper on a café table — a map with no destination, just a dot and an instruction: “Follow the light.”

Sunlight finds them first—Amirah folding blue laundry, Ada tracing fingerprints on the kitchen window, Rami humming a half-remembered tune, Sha leaning against the doorframe with a map of old regrets in their palms. The clock on the stove reads 24:02:23 in the body's motion: an afternoon catalogued by gesture rather than digits.

They do not speak in full sentences. They trade fragments—recipes, jokes, a line from someone else's poem—and the house keeps everything like a careful witness. The dust in the light becomes a slow constellation, each mote a small biography. Names drift into one another until it's hard to tell where one begins and the next ends; the pronouns blur into a single chorus. mixedx240223amirahadaramishacrosssunlit

Outside, the city continues its habitual noise. Inside, sunlit and small, the world is reassembled: the day measured instead by the warmth on the skin, the crease of a smile, the way a hand reaches for another hand and finds it there. 240223 is not just a date; it is an instruction—remember this pattern, this lilt of living in the narrow and brilliant hour.

Though mixedx240223 was initially dismissed by traditional art journals as "gimmicky new media," it gained a cult following on platforms like Are.na and Limn.tv. Amirah keeps maps she never shows anyone

Without a clear topic or theme, I'll need to make some educated guesses or assumptions about what you're interested in. If "Amira Hadar" and "Mish across Sunlit" are key components, I could attempt to create a feature based on these names and terms, assuming they relate to people, places, or concepts worth exploring.

Welcome to the Global Climate Model Data Archive section of the Data Distribution Centre (DDC) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This page is the main entry point for users who want to retrieve either data (FAR to AR4 monthly mean; AR5 in different frequencies) available at DDC or information on the models used.

About DDC GCM data archive

The DDC uses the CERA database which is run by the World Data Center Climate (WDCC) at DKRZ. Detailed information on the CERA database is available on the Web. You can look here to get more information.

The data is stored on a tape archive which is associated with the (local) database CERA. A data request will initiate a retrieval mechanism that will take some time to transfer the data from tape to disk, therefore users may have to wait before the requested data is transferred.

Data is provided in NetCDF for AR5 and otherwise in GRIB format (machine independent, self-descriptive binary formats). If you need data in GZIP (compressed ASCII) format you'll have to convert the binary data locally.

Information on both formats and the internal data structure is given here.

You can select between:

* You can get a subset of these IPCC-DDC data on storage medias here.

Download Statistics

Annual statistics and reports are available starting for 2014 at Annual IPCC-DDC statistics. Monthly statistics of the number of downloads and the download volume for IPCC-DDC data are available online:

GCM data validation

One of the criteria commonly used in selecting a GCM to be used in constructing regional climate scenarios for impact assessment is the performance of the GCM in simulating the present-day climate in the region. This is evaluated by comparing the model outputs with observed climate in the target region, and also over larger scales, to determine the ability of the model to simulate large scale circulation patterns. Examples of graphical comparisons between GCM outputs and observed climate for the 1961-1990 period for subcontinental world regions can be found here.

AR5 Scenarios

AR5 Scenarios are based on scenarios of the CMIP5 (Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5). Details on CMIP5 Scenarios can be found in:
Taylor, K.E., R.J. Stouffer, G.A. Meehl (2012): An Overview of CMIP5 and the experiment design. Bull. Amer. Meteor. Soc., 93, 485-498, doi:10.1175/BAMS-D-11-00094.1.
And details on the RCP Emissions and Land Use scenarios used in AR5 are described here.
