Not exactly the equator but the intertropical convergence zone, you can see it shifts from the tropic of Cancer in june to the tropic of Capricorn in December, due to Earth's tilt
@Hurricane Allen its named after a crab the name is also outdated since earths axis slowly changes where it faces so the tropics moved a constellation , meaning its more like tropic of gemini and tropic of sagitarrius

An absolutely excellent visual example of the rain shadow effect in the Pyrenees. At 1:11, watch the fast-moving jet of clouds flowing over Greenland and then straight south onto Western Europe, first going across the relatively flat part of north-eastern Spain and reaching its interior. At 1:16, you can see the Pyrenees block the weaker clouds in the airflow from crossing, and they flatten against the northern rise. The largest clouds pass over, but are much smaller until they get more moisture from the Mediterranean.
Thank you for this. 2019 was a crazy year, record Hurricanes, record floods, heat waves, But overall the 2nd hottest year on record. 2020 so far been crazy, continue to be an interesting year. Just love seeing our planet breath, sadly humans are negatively effecting it, but hopefully we turn that around. 🌎🌎
@@EUMETSAT1 thanks for the reply, I have a small suggestion. How about a compilation of all the years put together (I know it may be too big) Or maybe every summer in one video or every hurricane season in one video. These would help us visualise an overall trend since the past few years... I am from India so I was interested in checking all your videos to see the difference in global weather patterns and correlate with the actual performance of monsoon rains in those years. But a few compilation videos will help see the long-term changes more easily.👍
@@YathishShamaraj To find patterns more data is needed, there are factors like the Sun cycle that needs to be isolated, 40 to 50 years are needed at least, you are zooming in too much comparing two years, none the less that is what we have and what we start with
Is there a way I can streem the data onto a real time tv alternation between: all dates on record loops as well as smaller timescale loops and, one year loops that are up to date kinda like a news station.
Thank you. I love watching this every year. my one request, which is super random, because I really am in no position to offer a critique is that the projection is a bit confusing i think. if it is somewhat Mercatory it seems like weather systems move faster at the poles. maybe i'm wrong. i'd love to learn more about it
Hello, apologies for the late reply. There is stretching at the poles, and the projection is quite standard for many maps on the internet - we use this projection to allow people to reuse the video in other ways or compare with other animations that are in the same projection. For example, there are some who are able to project the video onto a sphere: sos.noaa.gov/What_is_SOS/ Hope that helps!
Hi there, sorry for the late response. This is because the video places the cloud over a 'blue marble' background. The background is not live data but it gives you a feel for the changes in the seasons, and as you noticed, it does not include ice coverage around the world. More information here: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/BlueMarble. If you are interested in the actual ice coverage, they can be viewed through the Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Applications Facility (OSI-SAF) here: - www.osi-saf.org/
Hello, thanks for your feedback. We only highlighted the more severe storms for 2019, rating from Category 1 and upwards. If you have any further questions please let us know.
Hi Oktay, thanks for your comment. When a 4K video is uploaded to RUclips it is initially in SD. RUclips will make it a 4K version in a few hours - please check back later to see it in 4K.
Hello, thanks for your question. Here is a reply from one of our experts: In general, the disappearance of the intertropical convergence zone near the South American side (eastern side) of the Pacific during the northern hemisphere winter is associated with the seasonal migration of the ITCZ and the Walker circulation. During the northern hemisphere winter, the ITCZ shifts southwards, bringing the rainy season to the southern parts of the tropics, affecting areas such as northern Australia, Indonesia, and northern South America. It can be nicely seen in the “pulsation” of convective clouds developing and decaying over the northern part of South America. Apparently, there are more clouds over land than over the Pacific Ocean in the ITCZ. A lack of convective clouds over the sea in that area is related to the Walker Circulation (atmospheric circulation and sea currents) in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Under normal conditions, there is a rising motion (convection) in the western Pacific near Australia and Indonesia. The air rises in the western Pacific, moves eastwards at upper levels of the atmosphere and sinks over the central and eastern Pacific, which inhibits convection and leads to a relatively dry and stable atmosphere over the eastern Pacific. That is why there are no convective clouds visible over the eastern Pacific in the ITCZ. 2023 will probably look different because of El Niño, because the Walker Circulation weakens during El Niño events, which results in a weaker descending branch of the circulation, therefore enabling more convection in the area. Hope that helps answer your question :)
Agreed. The speed is perfect but as a result it's difficult to tell whether one is looking at early January or late January. A date counter allows the viewer to better appreciate how the weather changes over the passage of one week or even days.
I'm Extremely interested in why Australia was pulsing last January/February. Arn't they in winter during that time. Could this have something to do with R12 production in China?
It's clouds formed by the condensation of water vapour from the tropical forest's evapotranspiration, as you can see across the tropics. It's pulsating because plants open and close their stomates during day and night, and thus the input of water vapour in the atmosphere cycles daily

Really? Why does RUclips stamp a Climate Change context article on every video that has anything remotely to do with weather? This video had nothing to do with climate or climate change. They need to seriously relax with the propaganda already.

It’s amazing seeing the Amazon rainforest “breathe” as the trees release water vapor
These are so cool, and have really helped me visualize how our weather works. It's amazing how bright blue the waters around the Bahamas are.
We're happy you like them!
It's cool how you can see exactly where the equator is based on the line of equatorial thunderstorms that make a line across the world.
