Civil Air Traffic Worldwide 24h improved 1080p HD-version

[Fyzzer]

Is it only me that noticed some of the dots are just disappearing over the ocean?! lol

[archolman]

At any one moment, there are ~5000 planes flying in EU or US Air Traffic Control areas, during peak periods.

Does this cause global warming?

[winterstellar]

@kawentzmann Yes, planes are pretty bad. Ships are aweful, but planes are pretty bad too. : )

[mozebasic]

@kawentzmann you bet

[archolman]

@kawentzmann. It may be balanced out by the increased albedo from the contrails, but this is uncertain. Contrails are a transient phenomena, whilst CO2 is a constant.

This is neither 1080p, nor improved quality.

[Emmerich88]

HD my ass

What are the super fast dots at 0:50 to 0:57 at the top left corner

[kitsunde]

@hubachecka It's just normal planes, they look much faster as they travel over a much shorter distance than the planes at the equator, because the earth unlike the map isn't flat. :)

@hubachecka

Probably planes making runs near the arctic circle - technicaly the distance to travel across time zones is less as the degrees are closer together. They aren't UFOs or any US government superplane. I doubt those would upload to anywhere......

[archolman]

@hubachecka. They're trans-polar traffic. Airplanes fly great circle routes for best efficiency, so from the UK Asia & western North America are more or less over the Arctic.

[avkrules]

it needs false coloring, as its difficult to get a good idea of yellow dots over white desert.

Gigantisch - einfach nur gigantisch! Nehmt mal noch die nicht registrierungspflichtigen und rein privaten Flüge hinzu! Da kommen wir pro Jahr mühelos auf 100 Millionen mal Luft-Verkehr. Wohl 99,999 Prozent davon verlaufen glatt. Ich sollte mein Auto wohl noch öfters stehen lassen... Aber wie komm' ich zum Flughafen? Per Bahn, womöglich pünktlich? Hm, kein Kommentar....

[franl155]

wow, thanks, love the timeline and the night sones - much better than other similar videos!
