Timelapse Cloud Development

[Stephen Locke]

I like watching time-lapse video of cloud development and storms.
I find them educational. The fast motion helps to reveal what is
really going on in the atmosphere. I like this video. It's just fun to watch
the sometimes explosive convection and then the various types of shear. No real storms in this
video in fact at sunset it all dies down. Thought I'd invite people to post links to 2x or faster videos to this thread. Post especially if the video helps to illustrate a particular phenomenon. Perhaps comment on that.

Not the best video but HERE is a video of mine of a wall cloud south Fargo on August 5th, 2006. Not exactly sure what happens to it, but inflow gets cut off somehow. I think the video is 4x real time.

I agree, time lapse videos of storms are awesome, and can really help show whats happening in a storm.

This is one video I really like!

I like this one here. Watch about halfway through the video as the updraft explodes on this one. This is just a video I found.

storm motion

For storm motion it might be hard to beat this one. Inflow, outflow, updraft, downdraft, beavertail, rfd, and rotation, rotation, rotation. Be sure to hit the full screen button.

I have three timelapse videos. They aren't great, but they're OK.

Been thinking about TLs again

Here is my most popular Timelapse from youtube:

I'm trying to find how CS4 does time lapse, but I'll save that for another thread (I'm still searching threads).

I have made one of the Aurora/Grand Island supercell and tornado: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfUONDwZ8oI

Here is one of the Nickerson, KS storm.

It really shows the rotation and the brief tornadoes.

That was a treat to watch! Very nice

 

[Paul Knightley]

Yes, that's a great one!

Here's one of mine - May 27th, 2001, in NW Oklahoma - huge gust front!

Wow, I can't top most of the great videos posted in this thread, but over the last two seasons time lapse storm video has become one of my favorite formats. I hope we all have some good long 2010 footage to speed up.

Here are a few of mine from the last two years.

3-26-09 near St. Jo, TX(Montague) - Time Lapse Supercell and small weak tornado.

Tornado 8X high speed - Ava, IL May 25, 2008

Time Lapse Highlights of 2009 Supercells

Time Lapse South-Central Illinois 6-19-09 - Inflow funnels and supercell moving east at sunset.

And one that is not time lapse, but a great accidental "caught on tape". This is where I got the video grab that is my avatar.

Lightning Bolt from Dash Cam 50 yards. Slow replay.

A couple of mine:
Timelapse-Supercell Updraft-Haakon county, SD 7/13/09

Timelapse-Updraft Base- Haakon county, SD 7/13/09

 

[Terrence Cook]

Here is my time lapse montage from 2009. The highlight at the end is the aftermath (non-tornado) of the June 5th, Lagrange, WY storm from near Kimball, NE.

A friend made the music just for the video, makes it very atmospheric.
