I'd love to see one of the 2005 or 2008 seasons.

Nature's pretty cool and doesn't afraid of anything.

She can be a real biatch sometimes.

That was sweet. You could see high pressure systems over the High Plains and see how the Gulf of Mexico really drives precipitation along the southeast. You could also see exactly why hurricanes take a hard right turn around Bermuda--the jet stream starts blasting them east pretty quickly.

I want my own satellite.

That was the first video in months that I've watched from start to finish that didn't involve boobies.

Neat-O.

That would make an awesome screensaver...

Africa keeps farting hurricanes across the Atlantic.

Goddammit I hate mobile sites.

Thinking the same thing.

Also, minor point, but a running calendar onscreen would have been cool, too.

Thanks for the find, submitter!

The top right corner is the date.

I tried to convert it to a screensaver, and gave up.

That's what I kept thinking.

/also, no sound?

What do you want to hear? The latest 50 Cent single?

pixels, how do they work

seriously thought, really cool...

Hypnotizing.

I liked seeing the fronts move across the country and interact with the tropical systems. It was like waves on the beach.

Fantastic find.

You rock! Thanks

but Al Gore told me that the US would be getting 10 cat 5 hurricanes every year by now.

I just don't understand....

John Buck 41		2011-11-30 11:20:27 PM

Mother Nature's cool, but this was just as entertaining.

Can anyone tell me what were those periodic cloud bursts were that appeared most notably over the northern and eastern Atlantic? Upper right part of the screen about every second or so.

In the warmest part of each day, when the temperatures peak, more moisture is evaporated into the air, and then condenses during the colder night. Each day is about a second long in that time lapse.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense.
