ok thanks alot, it may b quite a wait before i upload though because i dont know of a device that can speed up time or weather patterns in real life yet :( oh well ill let you know of a breakthrough lol
not a lot really. each frame is about 200kb as a jpeg file, so a whole animation worth (25 frames a second, for roughly a minute) is about 300Mb of jpegs.
the cool thing about making your own is the higher resolution. youtube have compressed this heavily. my original is in glorious uncompressed 640x480, so its much more detailed.
that said, make sure you post your results on here though so we can all check it out :)
how do you get these animations?? i only know the met office and a few other sights that have these type images but not animations for long amounts of time like this.
this is what happens when you save a photo every hour for six months, then stitch them together in your favourite video app (i used virtualdub). it makes a pretty neat video yeah?
Looking at loops of the whole globe (also in above-mentioned series), the fact that England and Europe receive the weather after it roams so freely over the large expanse of the North Atlantic may cause it to be less constrained than New England weather, which has the Rockies and and the Appalachians to channel it. The effects of the Alps can be seen a little.
Now I'm wondering about what weird characteristics other areas of the world may have. Someone should categorize the dance steps!
This is wonderful. I am struck by how much more variability there is in the patters of European weather are from those of US weather that I posted (search youtube for High Speed Weather). I mean, New England occasionally gets a "back door cold front" moving back from Maine, but other than that, it's the same old swirls. But England swirls! Sometimes it swirls up, sometimes down. There is no norm I see, except a slight West to East flow.
Beautiful.
