Monthly Global Cloud Sequences in Google Earth
The script that creates my ten day rolling time animation of global cloud coverage has been downloading and archiving cloud images every 3 hours since the beginning of the year, A grand total of 1140, up until now.
The obvious thing to do with these images is make longer animations!
This is what I’ve done here. In month long periods - From May 2006. These work the same way as my dynamic timeline, with the cloud images at 12 hour intervals.
The files are large - around 16MB each.
2006: May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec
2007: Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec
2008: Jan|Feb|Mar|
Networklink to all the filesNote: It is possible to download more than one of the files and play them back to back, but bear in mind the time series are very resource hungry. More than two or three together will probably struggle on many systems - they do on mine.
I’ll add monthly updates as I get the images.
