All my untrained eyes see is a nice timelapse of something you don't normally see a timelapse of. No alarming storms, no weird phenomenons, just happy clouds dancing their dances away.
One of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Our planet is so organic and the seasonal interaction is awesome. The effect of land and sea is very interesting. Great job folks!
Thanks for the suggestion and that would indeed be interesting! Unfortunately, we have not had global satellite coverage for the last 30 years and the challenge of obtaining the data available for the periods where we do have partial coverage would be, I fear, be a very difficult one. We may consider producing a video in the future that covers the field of view from our Meteosat satellites, however, as we do have 30+ years of data available from these programmes.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! It would be even greater, if you guys have a red circle indicates which region you're talking about. It's easier for viewers to follow imo
Is there a reason why you ignore the spherical shape of the earth and stretch the north and south? I think I would favor a Robinson style projection to showcase distances a little more accurate :)
+Mark Visco Open your eyes and stop being brainwashed by sheelpe chemtrail propaganda. Earth is Flat. God is Real. Embrace Jesus. Reptilians destroyed 9/11. Uh... yeah. There you are. Typical flat earth trolling.
Yes, I understand that stretching out north and south has advantages. But in addition to throwing off scale of places I wasn't sure if storms seemed to move faster at the poles or there was a lot of distortion from this projection. nevertheless i can't complain too strongly. this is great to see. I'm from the US. We tend to think of weather as magically starting over the pacific and ending in the atlantic. it always blows my mind when i watch bbc world news and they show the whole weather pattern circling around and around. obviously this is the case, but we focus on weather coming in from the west without seeing how it flows around the world.
Hi Gareth, thanks for the feedback. We'll take it into consideration for future YoW videos, however, currently we are only publishing at a 4K resolution.
Hi Anton. Unfortunately, the only weather satellites in operation 50 years ago were US-based. Europe's first weather satellite (Meteosat-1) was launched in 1977 and Japan's later. Since this visualisation is a composite of the views from various weather satellites in the geostationary ring (i.e. positioned at different longitudes around the globe) it has only been possible to create such an animation recently. In fact, as far as we know, the animation we created here was the first of it's kind.
Well, there is pretty much no land in the southern part of the southern hemisphere, just ocean. Snow storms are as frequent as in the northern hemisphere, except the land isn't there.
+1staidgirl Certainly EUMETSAT have data spanning 30 years, from our Meteosat programme. However, these satellites cover specific areas of the globe and make up only around a third of the 'global view' you see in this video. Thanks for the suggestion - we will, of course, consider it!
+Jean-Baptiste HERNANDEZ that is a good suggestion, but the radiometric data we use in this visualisation comes from similar instruments aboard satellites in the geostationary ring. Data from low Earth orbiting satellites like Metop would not "match" the data observed from the geostationary ring, as the instruments are designed for different types of observations and cover a finer spacial resolution at a lower frequency.
+EUMETSAT you'll find here : www.meteo-spatiale.fr/src/video.php the month video for january 2016. Projection Robinson, geostationnary ring and EPS data.
Hi River lena! I'm afraid we won't be producing a 2016 Year of Weather video - however, we will shortly be releasing an annual overview of 2016 on another weather and climate-related subject. Watch this space!
Could you make a video explaining the changes that happened in those 30 years of data comparing the images they've obtained? It would be really cool (◕‿◕✿)
So there is no night data? so the movement of the clouds are continues right? sure, great data from the geostationary BS that keeps the clouds still at nights and makes them wait till the next day. Why not showing us a video if EUMETSAT is really up there instead of a visualization?
+IRA N The visualisation's cloud layer is composed of infra-red data from the a number of satellites - infra-red is visible day and night. However, the transition of the sun can be observed in the sudden 'blooming' of the cumulus clouds within the intertropical convergence zone (roughly around the Earth's equator) as the Earth heats up during the day and cools during the night. In the visualisation, you can see this blooming effect move from the right of the image to the left, revealing the location of the sun during the day. This visualisation is composed of the data from several geostationary satellites because, as the Earth is round, no single satellite can observe the entire surface from geostationary orbit. If you'd like to see the actual view from EUMETSAT's Meteosat geostationary satellite, complete with the day/night shadows, feel free to visit the real-time image viewer on our website at bit.ly/1lrAuj1
+EUMETSAT Thank you for taking the time to answer. I visited your website and the image you call real time is a composite image. So why not posting the real photo of the earth instead of a computer generated image? oiswww.eumetsat.org/IPPS/html/MSG/RGB/NATURALCOLOR/map.jpg
+IRA N Meteosat imagery is generated using data from the onboard SEVIRI radiometer instrument. What you are seeing is the Earth as the instrument is seeing it, from 36 000 km above the Earth, in geostationary orbit, using two visible and one near infrared channel. However, we are unable to provide a 'true colour' image, comparable to a photograph, as SEVIRI does not have the requisite number of solar channels in the wavelength of human vision. The data provided by Meteosat satellites are vital for daily weather forecasting, in particular for real-time monitoring of severe weather, such as storms/fog etc, as it develops. To learn more about SEVIRI please take a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/fsS62qPKemE/v-deo.html For more about RGB composites please see: oiswww.eumetsat.org/IPPS/html/bin/guides/msg_rgb_naturalcolor.ppt www.goes-r.gov/users/comet/npoess/multispectral_topics/rgb/print.htm#page_3.1.0
I hate this kinds of map because they make it seems like theres this land of ice bigger than Africa and south america combined that sits at the edge XD
This loop needs a day counter--that would make it super.
+John Knox Thanks for your feedback - we'll certainly consider that for future videos.
All my untrained eyes see is a nice timelapse of something you don't normally see a timelapse of. No alarming storms, no weird phenomenons, just happy clouds dancing their dances away.
+Paul J. Morton Now you can understand Bob Ross a bit better.
One of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Our planet is so organic and the seasonal interaction is awesome. The effect of land and sea is very interesting. Great job folks!
Amazing to see the rainforests breathing!
So nice!!!
Thank you for that! So nice to see what really happened in Azores in the end of the year, in the Atlantic Ocean!
Amazing!!!
Excellent clip, keep up the good work.
It’s not friction that causes tropical cyclones to dissipate when they make landfall; its the the removal of the source of heat and moisture. ☺️
Eumetsat produces beautiful images!
If you look at the equator you can see the inter-tropical convergence zone clearly moving through the seasons.
This is amazing, never seen a timelapse on this scale! :)
I like how the clouds work around rain forests.
+NinjaBitter Centroamérica, Amazonia, Equatorial Africa, Southeast Asia, Indonesia...
55k views and not one downvote, amazing
+Henrik Holsæther Føyen You *had* to say it... xD
+Henrik Holsæther Føyen 3 people took your comment as a challenge.
Haha, or its just the result of 180k more views :p
+Henrik Holsæther Føyen Maybe because those who hate videos like these don't watch it. So no hating viewers no downvote
Wonderful! If you could add a pointer so I'm sure I'm looking at the spot you're describing, that would be even better.
This is awesome. Our living breathing planet
Beautiful video. Thank you.
You know what would be amazing? This as a 3D video.
You have to view it from the centre of the world but still!
a high speed vid of the last 30 yrs would be very interesting!
Thanks for the suggestion and that would indeed be interesting!

excellent that would be well worth watching, thanks for a great channel!
Great narration!
Can you please do the 30year version. Thanks.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! It would be even greater, if you guys have a red circle indicates which region you're talking about. It's easier for viewers to follow imo
Summer and fall months look insane
Is there a reason why you ignore the spherical shape of the earth and stretch the north and south?
I think I would favor a Robinson style projection to showcase distances a little more accurate :)
Careful, you'll only draw the flat Earth trolls out.

This needs to be in 8K
Hi Gareth, thanks for the feedback. We'll take it into consideration for future YoW videos, however, currently we are only publishing at a 4K resolution.
I would like to see a visualisation 50 years ago. I am intressted in how the weather has changed..

thanks for this video
can you please upload a year of weather 2016, need it for my studies, appreciated.
Hello, Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, the data was not available that year.
The southern hemisphere gets like no snow compared to the northern. Except antarctica.
Well, there is pretty much no land in the southern part of the southern hemisphere, just ocean. Snow storms are as frequent as in the northern hemisphere, except the land isn't there.
Most south part of south america Is latitude of northern England sorry for my english
nice commentary
Do you have the 30 years of data complied into one video, or a time lapse of photographs? It would be very interesting to see. Thanks.
+1staidgirl Certainly EUMETSAT have data spanning 30 years, from our Meteosat programme. However, these satellites cover specific areas of the globe and make up only around a third of the 'global view' you see in this video. Thanks for the suggestion - we will, of course, consider it!
+EUMETSAT Thanks. :)
Why don't you add EPS data for the coverage of the High latitude regions ?
+Jean-Baptiste HERNANDEZ that is a good suggestion, but the radiometric data we use in this visualisation comes from similar instruments aboard satellites in the geostationary ring. Data from low Earth orbiting satellites like Metop would not "match" the data observed from the geostationary ring, as the instruments are designed for different types of observations and cover a finer spacial resolution at a lower frequency.

+Jean-Baptiste HERNANDEZ Thanks for sharing!
+EUMETSAT I plan to produce this video each month
This just proves there are ZERO satellites in space!
Please do a Year of Weather 2016 video :)
Hi River lena!

What are pulsating clouds appearing out of the ground and forming clouds
ReeseyThings Only a guess. Daily changes daylight/nighttime variations.
Could you make a video explaining the changes that happened in those 30 years of data comparing the images they've obtained? It would be really cool (◕‿◕✿)
+Puchiguso457 Thanks for your feedback. We'll certainly consider that in the future!
2:59: subtropical storm Katie in southeast pacific: am I a joke to you
What really looks obvious is the dry tundra land across the earth and lack of green.

Hey where’s hurricane patricia
6:57
Patricia is violent 7:00
Is it me or every time i see Earth i see more desert zone each time.
Philippines is a shield
All can see, that only rusian if full of show in october....
I hate this kinds of map because they make it seems like theres this land of ice bigger than Africa and south america combined that sits at the edge XD
Anticiclon de las azores es geoingenieria.

Looks like all the crappy weather we're getting is from North America
Seems like most of the shitty weather Europe enjoys gets created somewhere near Mexico... Geez, thanks Mexico :D
