Yesterday I flew out of an airport just minutes before it closed in the path of a passing hurricane, and the cloudscape was beautiful as we rose through circulating pillars of cloud. I wondered how that pattern moves with time, and found some interesting time-lapse videos of weather:
Here are a few people who have waaaaay too much time on their hands. I don't expect you to watch the whole thing, but the ballet of cloud movements has a compelling beauty all its own. Time lapse of visible clouds
Time lapse of radar images
...of water vapor
...of infrared
...and of arctic sea ice over 20 years
...and of a hurricane's eye
...and just because it's related, flying the eye of a hurricane
