Saw one of these one morning walking to work in Borroloola,NT Australia. Didn't know what it was so called on Don Fickster to ask. Don and I had a few beers (7AM) and he knew. Everything went dark and quiet as the cloud went over, like an eclipse, even the birds went silent. Was late to work but you don't see one of these everyday.
The Morning Glory phenomenon is the result of the particular configuration of the land and sea on the Cape York Peninsula, in a remote part of Australia. The peninsula tapers off from about 350 miles wide to 60 miles as it extends north between the Gulf of Carpentaria to the west and the Coral Sea to the east. The easterly trade winds push the sea breeze across the peninsula during the daytime, which meets the sea breeze from the west coast in the late evening.
I spent the first 4 years of my life in Karumba in the Gulf of Carpentaria.......my most vivid memories of that time are watching Morning Glory roll over........truly an astounding sight that stays with you for your entire life
For some reason this video is making me nervous. I feel like if you get to close to the cloud then it'll fall on you, although I know that's not true since clouds are literally gas. I just feel nervous for no reason. It's really pretty 💜
atmospheric gravity waves causing the air to swing up an down. when the air mass goes up it cools down and the water vapor condensates producing clouds. as the air goes down again the air warms up and the clouds disapear and so on. simple physics but beautiful to look at
Nils Olsen has computed a model for the flow at the top of the Earths core that fits with the recent rapid changes in the magnetic field, and is also in agreement with the changes in the Length-of-Day variation.This core flow is rather localized in space, and involves rapid variations, almost sudden, over only a few months a remarkably short time interval compared with the respectable age of our Planet or even with the time of the last magnetic field reversal, some 780000 years ago.
its a really cool thing two fronts colliding and with clouds on both sides and a clear sky you get to see two fronts crashing into each other it happens more then you think happens a lot in storms
The Morning Glory cloud is a rare meteorological phenomenon occasionally observed in different locations around the world. The southern part of Northern Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria is the only known location where it can be predicted and observed on a more or less regular basis due to the configuration of land and sea in the area. The settlement of Burketown attracts glider pilots intent on riding this phenomenon.
this video makes me want to move back to my hometown, become the dorm mother of a girl's dorm even though I'm male, meet a handicapped girl, find a garage in the back of my school with a glider, work with my childhood friends and the handicapped girl and the person who built the glider to finish building the glider, mow a really big lawn, try to fly to the morning glory, fail, begin building a new glider, move our base of operations to an airplane dock on a hill, finish building a glider, accidentally knock the handicapped girl in the back of her head, have the glider confiscated and our winch broken, steal the glider back, bike down a downhill road to stop the handicapped girl from moving back home, launch the glider using a rubber band, and fly to the morning glory
my goodness, some of the nasty comments on here. Can't you just enjoy what mother nature gives us to look at! and btw, I'm an American...but don't care what some of you may think...I'm just enjoying the beauty of the world.
Mayans didn't need a leap year because their calendar was actually more accurate than ours. Even though the calendar does not, in fact, mark the end of the world but just the beggining of a new calendar, people still believe, from the predictions in the bible, the mainstream media, and the innability to think on their own, that the world is going to end drastically. the only reason people think the world is going to end is because of superstition, the same kind of
the internet is bigger and better than ever, technology is bigger and better than ever. you can fit a camera recorder in your pocket. in the 90's who could fit a vhs camera recorder in their pocket yet alone who could afford one back then!!!
Ash cloud? Rotating volcano cloud? Perhaps its a bad fire underground and its come up through a small round spiral shape hole making the cloud that drifts from it be a spiral cloud. Who knows?
I saw something like this recently while flying from Texas to the Great North West. I'm fairly sure we were still in Texas when I noticed them on the right side of the plane. There were three or more long tube shaped clouds running parallel with a well defined space between them. The plane flew parallel with the clouds for a long time. I figured it was a strange looking cold front moving through Texas, but now I'm not so sure. Did anyone else see this in the morning, on April 6th? I'd sure like to know what I saw.
Indeed, indeed so; the power of nature can arrive upon the earth with a most delicate touch when required. For the truly perceiving scientist, he acknowledges infinity as something that can never be fully embraced via the mind. Ergo, a necessary arrival of belief takes place, from which science & virtue ensues. Such is the power of God, Who is beyond infinity. A few scientists are beginning to attest to this. I don't have their names, but I instinctually know they're questioning their hubris.
Great, so some music journalists get paid to criticize music.. My reasoning was that musical taste is relative to a person's life experience, because it is life experience that shapes our perspective of what music sounds good to us based on our association of certain music to positive emotions, feelings, times, places, people, etc... Can you 'see' that or need i paraphrase into simpler terms for you?
If everyone's opinion is valid, why flame BMX's opinion as being wrong? It is narrow minded for you to tell anyone that their choice of music sucks, because the enjoyment of music is relative to every individual's own experience of life, not just your experience.
You didn't need to find duller words to uglify what I've just said, feel welcome to just respond appropriately instead. There are of course differences in music that can be criticised in terms of how skillfully it has been created, however that does not make a whole genre 'bad', because the actual enjoyment of music is not relative to how skillfully it is made.. I could jokingly say, this is why some people enjoy Nicki Minaj or Kayne West.
True, you didn't say that. You just shunned his opinion, which i mistook for treating it as invalid. That being said, it is narrow minded to tell someone that their choice of music sucks, for the very reason i mentioned. Regardless of whether you know names of (famous?) people who do that. Until you can actually tell me why my reasoning is wrong instead of asking me to tell it to someone else, i'll stick with it.
And the rain is all the dead skin cells falling off Jesus' feet onto the Earth; and lightening bolts are caused by God when he farts from the ionosphere, and not from electromagnetism in the ionosphere; and thunder is God bowling, not extreme heating of particles expanding through the lower atmosphere.
Did anyone else come here after playing the awesome visual novel game (that deals with the Morning Glory), "If My Heart Had Wings"?
No
I never know this phenomeon until I play that game. lol
SiLeNtWAY
Yep, I would bet like 95% of those that played the game had previously never heard of it either, lol.
totally~
yep awesome game indeed :)
i love IF MY HEART HAD WINGS!
Now I'm aiming to build a glider and fly through Morning Glory!
Mutation Ent. I too
I'm just here because of "Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa wo Hirogete"
myhahalo oh same!

Only looked this up because of If my Heart Had Wings

cuando sea grande iré a verla es uno de mis sueños ver en persona esa hermosa nube :'((
amazing and beautiful music very zen video peaceful
Je partage tout à fait ton sentiment, Plissa Barrett :-)

Such near instant manifestations are the purities of His power. It goes without saying that the power of modernity itself is incomparable.

Earth's atmosphere is a strange and wonderous thing. People really need to look UP more often.
The collision produces a wave disturbance moving inland to the southwest that is a key part of the cloud formation.
well edited and nice choice of music ! Loved it
finally somebody is putting it all together impressed
You started this with your "made for TV" viewpoint.

If I had to move secret space craft and knew how to make rolling clouds that's one way to do it.
BRING THE TIN FOIL JOHN, WE GOT A CASE HERE.
It turns out you're smart enough to solve the problem after all. Congrats!

Kotori route best route

thats one trail it expands it depends on the polymers in the mixture that will determine what the expansion is on it
Wow this is awesome.Not only beautiful but creepy at the same time.
I wish they make the game in 3d and yeah I came hear cuz of the game lol

Thank you, I was trying to identify clouds. I was looking at some this afternoon and needed help so Google sent me here!
Morning Glory clouds: god's lines of coke.
the internet is bigger and better than ever, technology is bigger and better than ever. you can fit a camera recorder in your pocket. in the 90's who could fit a vhs camera recorder in their pocket yet alone who could afford one back then!!!
This is truly the mecca for Australian glider pilots!!
Awesome Slideshow. Music fit perfectly. Thanks for the link too.
it's like in the super mario games, just long clouds to walk across
Beautiful. Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like the music you would hear in Suramar?
The Morning Glory phenomenon ......nice name for it thx for this video
Roll clouds are very beautiful.
sueño con visitarla algún día, me haría muy feliz... pero soy pobre
Yeah that really kills it for me especially when I have my headphones on!
Superbe et très intéressante vidéo, *****. On en redemande. Merci ^^
I woke up 7:00 am today I witness an incomplete form of morning glory, it was an absolute shocker that I would happen just quite close to use
Beautiful mathematics in these clouds
Ash cloud? Rotating volcano cloud? Perhaps its a bad fire underground and its come up through a small round spiral shape hole making the cloud that drifts from it be a spiral cloud. Who knows?
@RoboticusMusic How can one steal vibrations in the air?
Lagrangian coherent structures at their best :)
Wtf? Mysticism (or whatever it does write) is all that can describe these pictures..!

Such a blessing !
Through God nothing is impossible.
that song sounds scary it's like a sad ending of a person died in a flaming tornado.
Had those over Nashville just now
That is beautiful. Weird in a heavenly way, but beautiful.
I come here after playing If my heart had a wing =)))
you can turn the music off, you know?
SciShow brought me here!
Same
i wanna hug it. DAMMIT REALITY Y U NO HAVE WINGS
Beautiful music. Where is the music from?
world of warcraft - temple of the moon
I’m here cus of chills
Cool never heard of this one thank!
gods play-doh
Are these cloud formations even normal at all?!

Beautiful earth....our home....for how long?
No, this was happening before man had even invented god.
Just Wow !
He might have researched it on the internet.........novel idea eh?
Its like god rolled a joint
wow thats cool as can be
OTS BEAUTIFUL!!!
The bliss
Wow that was awesome, thanks.
so epic.

Damn nature you scary! Ha Ha now I can scratch that off the list. Next up, "you mad bro?"
awesome

(Sigh) Clouds often accompany fronts, quit splitting hairs.
Thanks for proving my point about your level of maturity -_-
"Thanks for proving my point about your level of maturity -_-" LOL!
elwyn forest?
@Breyerlover526 thats a plane wing
фантастика!
oh god I've heard this soundtrack too many times in Darnassus

Are you a Sufi as well?:)
Wow How did you know The name of the cloud??
are you scientist??

where are these places?
Over stuffed chemtrails...absolutely.
And the rain is all the dead skin cells falling off Jesus' feet onto the Earth; and lightening bolts are caused by God when he farts from the ionosphere, and not from electromagnetism in the ionosphere; and thunder is God bowling, not extreme heating of particles expanding through the lower atmosphere.
a "front" in weather is NOT a cloud formation..-_- granted these clouds may be natural, there are many that are man-made.
amazing
THE POWER OF GOD
You know what pisses me off more than a youtube video of still images? Nothing.
Loocs like Tsunamy
idk why, but this song makes me sad... D:
Where's my straw?
I KNOW RIGHT
i saw this few years ago,Croatia :)
