This is actually insane! It looks like a hellish demon trying to escape the sun!

Been having fun watching SDO imagery today... lots and lots of action on the limb!

From 4/27/2011, a short multi-tilt storm-following loop from ARMOR of the Hackleburg tornado. Some pretty incredible temporal resolution is possible like this when you interleave the different tilts! You get some shakiness but overall this turned out quite incredible. Love the merger stream!

Also a short time lapse video of the proton aurora being extraordinarily bright and dynamic!

The greatest atmospheric ballet! Large, highly visible snow mesovortices rolling down a convergence band over Lake Michigan on 2024/01/19. Perhaps the most beautiful radar data NEXRAD has ever produced. This is a 14 hour loop showing the ridiculously high number of them that developed sequentially

Storm-following, multi-tilt, multi-radar loop of the tornado event from 2015/05/06, as seen by KTLX and ROP4 (KCRI). Spliced-together loops like this give us a pretty incredible look at the motions going on that often gets lost between sweeps!

Storm-following (vortex-following where possible) loop of the Duke, OK tornado from 2024/05/23! Including its beautiful development from a huge hook echo and subsequent dramatic occlusion through the precip core. Used tilts 0.5°/0.9° for this one, 1.3°+ made it worse.

Another python-generated storm-following loop, this time 6 hours of the Mayfield supercell from 2021/12/10! Imperfect, dealiasing wasn't amazing, and the plot format needs some decrapulating but overall happy with it! Surprised the motion vectors kept it so centered!

4-Radar Multi-Tilt Storm-Following loop of the 2013/05/20 Moore, OK Tornado. Splicing together multiple radars gives us some pretty crazy temporal resolution, even if it's a bit... spazzy. Been having fun with my new script!

Some storm-following loops from 2012/03/02, plotted by my python script utilizing multiple tilts to get slightly more temporal resolution!

And a radar loop for good measure showing the persistence of the signatures.
