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. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKSBOP4i6yM) 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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtikPJhb4b4) 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.

[Zac Goode]

This is one video I really like!

[Chris Lott]

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.

[Stephen Locke]

For storm motion it might be hard to beat this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvrVRZqn2JY) 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.

[Jason Foster]

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).

[Dick McGowan]

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

[cedwards]

Here is one of the Nickerson, KS storm.

It really shows the rotation and the brief tornadoes.

Wow, forgot all about this thread. It's one year anniversary is on the 14th.

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!

[Scott Sims]

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. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR-85LO1HLQ)

Tornado 8X high speed - Ava, IL May 25, 2008 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2tJ69zsf3E)

Time Lapse Highlights of 2009 Supercells (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OogHKGSpY7I)

Time Lapse South-Central Illinois 6-19-09 - Inflow funnels and supercell moving east at sunset. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC5RpcFYgZY)

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. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZO9iumJDhs)

A couple of mine:

Timelapse-Updraft Base- Haakon county, SD 7/13/09 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBk5NT1hrT8)

[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.

The University of Arizona Atmospheric Science program posts cloud time lapses on their website. Most of them are monsoonal cloud formations that demonstrate some deep convection. It's neat to watch the clouds start fairly low and continue to build throughout the day. Definitely worth checking out.

U of A cloud time lapse (http://www.atmo.arizona.edu/index.php?section=weather&id=cloudBest)

As a side note, they do take about a minute or so to load, but well worth it.

[Allan Jeffers]

Here is a quicky I did the a couple weeks ago... its got clouds, so I hope it counts... :D

That bright spot at around the 9 oclock position is a moon dog

Here is my first real attempt at time lapse. This was about 40 stills put together from last Wednesday's storms in east Texas.

Great video find....def. hit the favorite button on this vid.

I'm a big fan of storm time lapse video and have dozens of such clips which can be viewed on my Robert Prentice's Atmospheric Images Channel on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=RobertPrentice).

[APritchard]

I've really started getting into creating time lapses, so I'm glad I've always been a stickler for tripoding my video.

Here's one I may a while back of the tornadogenesis and entire tornado life cycle of the Glen Ullen, North Dakota supercell on May 21 2007.
